Countdown

[Alpine Joe]

I apologize profusely for my Stales this game. If it is any excuse, I have been extremely ill for the past week, and while a friend agreed to cover a couple of my games while I was in hospital, I felt it was too much to ask him to cover them all with no Stales, and this game he must have felt was less important.

I will slowly be resuming my normal schedule for the next few days, but I understand the reasons for my being replaced, and I wish the sub best of luck with the position.

Good luck to all of you in this game, once again, I apologize.
