Scrolling down the list of winners and nominees, I was struck by the wide range in people, some were new, some were vets, some seemed like shoe-ins, others came up big on the biggest stages during this. Great diversity here and it's only fitting that the awards should show that.
In regards to the Ciddies I somehow managed to win, I recall what Mike Caine once said, "Though I may be the winner, that does not make me the best." We all have so much to offer one another and frankly, I'd like to share all of what I've gotten with each and every one of you as I've learned and gained so much insight from all of you. Winning these only affirms my hopes that I might be doing some good rather than just helping in vain and I'm deeply honored and even more humbled by all of this, as all of us winners are.
It's a mighty fine forum we have here, and it'll only get better as we all grow and learn from one another.
Congrats to everyone involved in this, be you a winner, a nominee, a voter, or just someone who read through the pages and pages of posts.
Loony BoB/Award Guy, I want to thank you personally for always giving your time, effort and heart to this place, to share with us all that you have and then some. Hopefully, now you have ample time to relax and recover.
Take so much care everyone.
