Any other year my 11 picks would have got me first place,
Au contraire, my misguided one. While eleven is a good score, there have been some years that it wasn't enough to win.
Well, as Yogi Berra used to say, "It ain't over till it's over." There have been times when a death at the end of the old year isn't actually made public until a few days into the new one. So, theoretically, the final scores could still change.
Doesn't matter though. Our devil's spawn a/k/a Sr Vitelli won't be repeating.
Beginner's luck, you think?

Time will tell... Have to admit that the deaths of Natalie Cole and Wayne Rogers took me by surprise.
