Let's try 2 H.

Actually, I've just noticed something, JT, I only got sent one set  of
penalty cards but I've made 2 incorrect plays thus far.

TGW.

TGW, I've sent out your current hand as I have it harfed.  If anyone else
thinks I missed sending them penalty cards, let me know.. It's always
possible for me to goof :)

TGW, I don't show this card as being in your hand.  Since my record has
13 cards in it for you (which is the number in your hand, I'm fairly sure I
have the right one :)

Sigh.  It seems I must once again chastise myself for being so eager to
