I didn't post a link and say, vote here- last time I attempted to do something without advertisement, two people (three, two in the audience, and me) showed up. (Ok, I did advertise this time, and so did others. But still.) To those who didn't vote- s'ok. (Or who saw my photo in the contest and decided you couldn't in good conscience give it your thumbs-up :) )
To those who did- very very many thanks and much surprised gratitude.
In any and all cases- since I neglect to say, since it is worth saying- this, from this sleepy and often undiplomatic fellow, warm wishes north of the Equator and cooler ones south. May we all get to know each other a bit better at least in the next year and like who we discover, may acquaintances become friends and friendships deepen - of course!
