I don't know about you, but I was really impressed by the entries this week. Thank you to all my fellow members of the Watcher's Council, and to the authors of the fine non-Council entries. But then again, when have we ever been disappointed?

I've been on the Watchers Council for a long time now, and have to tell you, I've never seen results bunched quite this closely. Frankly, it serves as a tribute to the high quality of the work done by my fellow bloggers in writing about subjects of importance to them. In case i don't say it enough, I want to express the honor I feel being associated with these other fine writers and thinkers.
