It's an honor just to be nominated...I think
Posted by Jill | 7:50 AM
Good Lord. I've been nominated for a Koufax Award. This here modest little rantfest hasn't even been in existence for a year, and I've snagged me a Koufax nomination. Sure, the category is "Best Overall Blog by a Non-Professional", which is kind of praisation by faint damns, but I'll take what I can get.

My only question is "non-professional what?" Does this mean there's a public perception that I do this all day sitting around in my jammies at home drinking coffee nonstop and chowing down on Trader Joe's chocolate chip meringue cookies? Or does it mean it's just another vehicle for entertaining the six or seven people who actually read this to hopefully be entertained by my deathly prose without monetary compensation? Not that it matters, I happen to at least for now be fortunate enough to have a full-time job doing work I enjoy for decent pay, which makes me one of maybe 2% of Americans who can say that.

Anyway, who am I to quibble? It's a frickin' KOUFAX AWARD NOMINATION!! It's like playing in the World Series in your rookie year, man! So if you like what you read here, please go over to Wampum (and toss them a few bucks while you're at it, right now they're having to choose between putting gasoline in the car and paying site hosting costs) and vote for us. You can either vote right there in the comments, or e-mail at wampum AT maine DOT rr DOT com. (You'll need to translate this to an e-mail address; I think it's pretty straightforward what you need to do. I just don't want to give their e-mail address to spammers.)
