Wow.  Neat.

Thanks to your votes, this teeny corner of the Internet is now a Koufax Awards finalist in three categories:

Best Writing

Best Series

Most Humorous Blog

The Best Series nod is for the around-the-world Travel Journal originally posted at This Modern World.

Thanks, everybody.  Thanks for the votes.  I’m blown away.

Y’know that stuff you hear from showbiz types about how "it’s just an honor to be nominated, the other nominees are so good and I admire them so much, I’m happy just to be here," none of which you ever really quite believe?

In this case… hell yes.   Believe it.

To vote in the finals, just click on the categories you want to vote in, and scroll down to the bottom of the new window, add your comments, and send.

Thanks!

PS — Two things to add: a) without Colin contributing so much tech work, this site simply would not exist, so he gets half of any credit; and b) if you click over and vote, the other nominees offer some terrific reading.  Forget any competition; do yourself a favor, and if there’s a site nominated you haven’t looked at, dig in.  After which, then I hope you’ll still remember to vote.
