The website I chose for our TAR5 league has to be the unfriendliest site I’ve encountered and the forums aren’t much better. I understand that cliques develop as people bond and whatnot, but to not respond to newbies’ questions is just rude.

Somehow our league isn’t included in the scoring, so I posted an inquiry about it. We’ll see if I get a response, although I’m not holding my breath based on the others’ who’ve been completely ignored. So, I say all that to let my league players know that things are a little hosed for us at the moment, but I’m hoping they’ll be cleared up. If not, then I’ll try to start a new league and we’ll have missed the first week’s quiz only.

The first episode was pretty good. Alison/Donny may just be the new Flo/Zach (shut up, Flo!) and right now I’m rooting for the father-daughter team of Jim/Marsha, partly because I’m racing vicariously through them. I tried to talk my Dad into doing the race and he balked. That Jim is a tough guy - to take 25 stitches in the first hours of the race and to keep on keeping on without a visible limp or single complaint about pain is impressive.
