OOps, we forgot the Friday Trivia, uh oh, free points for everyone. I'm sure I saw that in the rule book somewhere. No?
Sorry to everyone for the mistake. I am actually on vacation right now and was unable to get trivia posted on Friday as planned. When I get back in the office next week, we will have a special trivia that Monday 8/8 to make up for it. :)
