    ah, the rules.. i knew it said somewhere, but why look for it myself as long as I can order an old woman around?
    thanks Scher

    No worries! That's what this old woman is here for!

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Did that mean " Old? I AM old!" ?

    And I don't believe it! The competition is so close! The Swan is taking the lead with 2 votes.

    No, Flower. Scher speaks French, and mine is poor, but roughly it means: "Old woman? I don't think so!"

    OK I voted. It was a tough vote. At some point or other, each of the four stories almost had my vote. They were all great, but they all had some flaws too, if you ask me. I finally voted for The Killing Word.

    If it means anything, I had my wife read the stories too. She is not a member and so she can't vote, but she enjoyed On Terrapin Pond best.

    Oh okay. I don't speak French, that's for sure. And I'm sorry if I offended you in any way, Uncle Pen!

    I read the four short stories last night and I must say they were good. I'm hoping to make up my mind in the next couple of days as to whom I should pick.

    Aye aye aye but how this has progressed! Oh the agony of waiting!

    Without a sharp swing in another direction, I'd say our winner is comfortably set! A close tough race, and one no story failed to garner votes in. That's what makes a good race!
