Tim:

Yours was excellent, too. I think Sharon's was more timely and appealed to the judges. I liked Robert's and Michael's a lot, also. Hell...they were all excellent!

Brian - thanks for putting on the contest - it spurred some good blogs - and also for your links to the other articles. Since I have a subscription to Forbes through December, I'd like to pass it on to another of the entrants - whichever one contacts you first asking for it. I'll keep the kudos, though!

Renee and Kaushik - thanks for the congratulations.

I love these carnival posts. I seem to miss one or two of them, and these give me a chance to go back and learn something. Thanks!

I could always use the fortune subscription, once I leave school in May, I will have to start buying stuff again. Scarrrrrrry...

I didn't even realize I joined a contest! Sorry about that. Thanks for letting me participate anyway!

(05/30/07 11:53AM) — Brian Brady- America's #1 Mortgage Broker

You wrote two great posts, Karen.

Thank you Brian for the mention. I was so surporsed to see my name there! I appreciate that you thought enough of my blog to include it.

Brian, I am so impressed that you got Greg Swann to submit a post here! I do notice he posted it only to the group, so as not to take any points for it. And I figure that's because in Greg's universe, receiving points would take away from the perfection and purity of the thing. <s>

Ya gotta admire the guy! He has elevated being an "insufferable bastard" (his own words at times) to an art form. And just so's anyone is confused as to where I stand: Greg is one of my favorite bloggers.

PS Yes, I know this post is from 6 months or so ago. For some reason, when I clicked Brian's face this morning, this post displayed at the top. Wierd! So I figured I'd comment, anyway. No one else will probably see it!
