October contest winners
In case you haven’t closely inspected the side column in a while, tunes in my soundscape are not only updated on an ongoing basis, but we have a new contest!
First the winners of last month’s. As anticipated by anyone tracking last-minute vote switching and other schenanigans, Poster Boy not only shouldered his way into the prize-winners, but managed to take first. However, in what I hope Frasier perceives as a conciliatory gesture, I have decided in response to his legal lobby efforts to split the entries into domestic and international categories. As Frasier thus entered unchallenged, he is the first-prize winner in the international category. For those of you keeping tabs on our Blog Reader World Series, the October contest — or poetry category — has produced a 1-1 draw. Poster Boy and Frasier stay locked in a dead heat, albeit now 2-2.
This month’s contest represents a return to the format used in September, but the blog archives are not without hints, I believe. Or depending on your research skillz ... Also, as this plays nicely to the sheer-guesswork crowd, I’m expecting more entrants this time. We can do better than 4!
Well, nuff said on that score. In other news, I hear Geriatric Gent is finally back in town, and there may be a dinner with Hippie the Groper this week. Actually I take that back. Geriatric Gent is not only back in town, he just called! Supposed to call me next week about doing something. What a riot. Also, as mentioned, yesterday I received a cheery, photo-laden email from the Politician:
In response I sent what was hopefully a sufficiently ardor-quelling email, laced with strategic inquiries of his family and wife. I also mentioned my own political woes. You see, if it weren’t bad enough that I’ve been set up with a Kerry supporter (sniff, sniff), I can’t even vote today! Good thing I hadn’t planned on any votergasm parties, or I’d really be bummin’.
Must go drown my sorrows in ... what else? ... a morning latte (booze comes later).

Hey Anna!Skeevy or what?!! Oy vey.
How are you? Hope all is well...
How is the job search?
Hope your friends haven’t treated you badly over Bush...
Boy I hoep he wins...
My race looks good. Early voting results posted soon after the polls close should tell the tale...
Haven’t spoken to Middle-aged Hanger-on lately but Married Hanger-on is fine.
Hopefully we can soon start planning our inaugural reunion!
best wishes,
Politician
