Twelve days ago I invited everyone who drops by here to leave a comment in celebration of my first blog anniversary. I enjoyed hearing from eleven readers; thanks for humoring me.   One comment came from a reader I did not know and she just happens to have the same name as me. I invited A11 to pick the winners after I had written all the names on scraps of paper and held them above her head. Andrew Nordstrum will receive the Ken Duncan Australia 2008 calendar and Heather (yes, the one with the same name as me) will receive the Canadian Panoramic calendar.

Thanks for your encouragement.

By the way, Katherine, you are the cousin I referred to.  It’s always good to hear from you.  And Julie, thanks for making an exception just this once!
