I think unclose is a good word cal or perhaps unlock (I even got some pretty lock images for Jailguard Jason in his first lockdown!)

Yeah sorry for not being very active in the pool this year. It looks like I will reach my goal of not finishing last. I wanted to be more active but just could not find myself getting back into basketball and often forgot about the pool, particularily when football was done. I don't plan on joining next year unless you have an odd number of teams and need one more to do a draft because I probably wont be a good manager.

I'll organize another NFL pool in about 4 months and hopefully I'll be able to organize another NHL pool if G.B. and B.G. can learn to play nice and end our misery.
