Yes...

If I remember right, several of your pieces got nominated across a couple of categories.

You know,you might warn a fellow when that happens. Darn near choked on my coffee this morning as I looked at my f-list...

Still, there are worse ways to start the day. And who knows, someday I might win one! That'd be a kick in the head... Last time I won something I was twelve.

Sorry. I've been boosting signal for this event for 2 months. When I'm only running one or two categories, I more often have time for extras like notifying people when they get nominated. This is one of the years nobody else volunteered to run categories, so I had to do all 6 myself. Didn't get around to notifying nominees, but DID get the posts made on time, and managed to NOT nominate anyone who didn't want to be involved.
