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!"

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...
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.

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!
You learn more about a road by travelling it than by consulting all of the maps in the world.
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!
