[Well, so much for reading all the others, tonite! Home late; long phone call; even longer for getting onto the site ~ "Cannot Find Server"

; almost 11:30 PM now and time for bed.]

I do have time to at least copy-and-paste my CONGRATULATIONS to you, Ali, from the other thread

:

Since the winners have already been announced [I spotted the additional, latest thread between courses], I want to Congratulate Ms. Ali

~~ Congratulations, Ali

! ~~ on her First Place win with her story; its, ironically, having shades of "The Nanny," in which Leonard's own, longtime friend, Rebecca de Mornay, starred. I loved the ironic, very surprize ending, and the cadence of the media announcement

........and the story continues

. Great stuff, Ali

! Aren't you glad you already planned to go to Berlin

!?! What DELIGHTS me, in addition to your story's EXCELLENCE, is that you're such a newcomer to the Forum

!!!

Goodnite, Ali ~ and sleep well. What a relief it is over, eh

!?!

Love,
Lizzy

Congratulations, ALI - I'm glad that my favorite story made it into the booklet. You gave me several instant laughs while reading it.

The whole judging process was a bit complicated but a great fun to me.

Leonard Cohen folks are outstanding people - even in combat.

Laurie has been a perfect leader on this.

Thanks a lot.

Yes, congratulations Ali - a great story with a deliciously wicked sense of humour threading through it!

Cheers
