Last week, I think we had something of a first at the Watcher’s Council: a six-way tie for second place. Wow! What this means is that we all submitted such uniformly good posts we were unable to decide anything but that the winner, The Glittering Eye, did a fantastic job. Anyway, here’s the whole list. Also, please keep in mind that the Watcher’s Council is looking for a couple of new members. Those of you who have your own blog and would like to be involved in an intellectually stimulating group, please check out the Rules and apply. Also, even if you don’t want to belong, please take note that we’ll be reinstituting the old practice of “link whorage,” which allowed people to submit ‘honorable mention’ entries in exchange for linking to last week’s winners.
