Remember a while ago, and by a while ago I mean September, when I informed both of you, my readers, that I was nominated for an award namely the Blogger’s Choice Awards on the Newfoundland and Labrador Blogroll? You don’t? Well, I almost forgot too since the voting was so long ago.
Well… due to several circumstances, the site’s administrator was unable to tally the results right away, but when he finally did, guess who won in the Mixed Bag category? Nope, not Townie Bastard. Nope, wrong again, not The Owlery Chronicles. Sigh… give up? It was Oh Me Nerves! No… I’m not joking, and yes, it WAS a serious vote. Incidentally, both of those other blogs are very well done, well written, and strong competition. Based solely on objective criteria, I’m not sure I could have won.
So, since the winner was based on votes from the community, I’d like to thank both of you, my readers, for diligently and consistently voting over and over and over. I don’t know yet what my award consists of. Maybe I’ll be able to retire from my day job and dedicate all of my time to writing gibberish on this site. 
I think I’ll get some sort of graphic I can post on this site for bragging rights and my blog link will be posted prominently on the NL Blogroll website or something. Ether way, I’m excited and grateful!

WE HAVE A WINNER!!
First, I’d be remiss if I didn’t start this off by saying congratulations on winning the Blogger’s Award. You could say that this was a people’s choice award, given the criteria to come out on top, so in part it’s congratulations to Me . . . and all the other readers who take some comfort coming back again and again to see what the latest posts are dealing with.
With reward comes responsibility. Keeping up with the Jones doesn’t apply anymore because now it’s become “Keeping up with the Melees”. We, your loyal minions on the readership side, will be looking for cutting edge posts, satarical quips and an all round good time each and every chance we get to log on to the Award Winning Site. Critiques may come fast and furious if we feel let down from time to time and then there’s the fallout if, heaven forbid, writer’s block rears it’s ugly head. Readers can be so demanding, loyal readers even more so.
“Why it’s our blog now”, some might say, “How dare he not have something up everytime I turn on my computer. How can he get away with that, why, I won’t stand for it”.
And so it goes. Yeah, winning can be fun, but it’s not always about winning.
Sometimes it’s about us.

@Craig: I just may hold you to that! However, my horse shoe toss gets worse with booze, I’m afraid.
