In any case, this is probably the last time I will mention any awards. I'm as susceptible to liking awards as much as the next guy, but I don't want to give myself a rotator cuff tear patting myself on the back. I'd be doing this without the nominations. Being recognized is just icing on the cake.

Hey brother, even if it goes to your head, you deserve the recognition. You bust your ass to put up substantive and thoughtful comment and analysis every single day. You've got my vote.

It seems to be several dim commenters. Though I have not seen Alice or her ghost for a couple of days.
