Wonderful! Can't wait to see the final top-four ranking. But it is an honor to be selected as a finalist. I think my entry this year is really Benchleyesque (grin) and that we all did fantastic jobs. Go read 'em all, if yez haven't!
This, in a way, calms everything down. Now we can get on with life. When do we get the WINNER?
Congratulations to all of the semi-finalists!
