Contest Winners

Well. The humorous prize was won by Panda, who got four votes (and one more on the heartfelt side), and the runner-up was Zachary Newbold who got two votes. The heartfelt prize was more closely contested with Cassie, Aurora, and Laura each getting two votes. Claire, Panda and I each garnered one vote.

The prize committee will decide soon how to divvy up the two $20 prizes.

I think there was considerable sentiment that the Rob entry deserved a prize, but lingering resentment at the clean sweep Rob usually makes at Murphymas prevented him from getting any votes. Both Rob and Cassie expressed the sentiment that they would vote for their spouses but for the fact that it was a little like voting for themselves. Cassie also thought the Newbolds should get a special family-togetherness prize because they all entered even if Claire had to beat them.

Thanks for all your entries. Maybe we can entice more entries next year, or maybe we can forget the whole thing.

Happy Thanksgiving!
