For those of you who enjoy soap operas (wink at Midge)

I had a theory as to why I got put on such a non-competitive team last week. I talked to ET and he basically confirmed it. Without going into any further details — AND DON’T ASK, I won’t do it — I’ve decided that Barely Legal will not be playing for medals for herself for the foreseeable future. If someone winds up close enough to threaten my leadership position (like, within one or two medals of doing so), I’ll probably join back in. She will be trying to help Sisters, though, if the opportunity arises — she’s just not going to be playing for herself.

And n00b65 might start competing again; I haven’t decided on that yet.

Read into this what you will. I won’t say any more (although I will say that it has nothing — nothing — to do with my being a mod.)

EDIT: This week, turns out I’m on Yellow Baboon.
