First, remember when I passed on Vince Gatton‘s plea made on behalf of his aunt and her son? Here’s an update.
Recent Coryats:
originally 11-2-11: 18600 (22400 without negs. Hard to believe the first time I played my Coryat was 8600, 19400 without negs. I had 8 negs then, and still-bad 4 this time.)
originally 11-3-11: 19600 (25600 without negs. Strangely, the first time I played my score was 25000.)
originally 11-4-11: 13400, but I didn’t see 7 clues this time because of a tornado warning. My score actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gonna be – There were a whole bunch of clues where I should’ve rang in. My score would’ve been 18600 without 5 negs. The first time I played, my score was 13800 with 9 negs.
originally 11-17-08: 40200
originally 11-18-08: 32600
