The Guy Fawkes edition of the Watcher’s Council
I’m a little late to report, but on November 5 (Guy Fawkes) day, the Council spoke. While I’m awfully pleased, of course, that my fellow Council members gave my post such a big thumbs up, the usual is true: I won as much by luck as by anything else, since the other submissions are, as always, superb:
