Amongst other ways I celebrated Thanksgiving, I confirmed my bridesmaid status at the Watcher’s Council. By the way, to any who thought last week that I was complaining, I wasn’t. I tend to be a natural and comfortable second placer. I’m not a general, but I’m a fairly good junior officer. In any event, given [...]

I’ve noticed lately that I frequently come in second at the Watcher of Weasels. I don’t mind, because I’m honored to place at all, considering the competition. It’s just that I’m noticing a pattern, which established itself again this past week: Council Winners *First place with 2 2/3 votes! The Noisy Room–-Book Burning – It’s [...]
