The Watcher’s Council has spoken
Bookworm on Nov 20 2009 at 3:02 pm | Filed under: Watcher of Weasels
When Queen Elizabeth I learned that her sister, Mary Tudor, had died, she quoted Psalm 118:23: “This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” I’ve always admired the beauty of that phrase, let alone the fact that Elizabeth had Biblical quotes at her fingertips. Anyway, I’ve always wanted to say that — “This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” — although I recognize that the goodwill of friends, rather than the hand of the Lord, reveals itself in the fact that I won the Watcher’s Council vote this week. Here are all the winners:

I _had_ to plant this somewhere…and usually the list of the week doesn’t garner many comments.
Hang on to something while checking this one out…!
