OH SWOON. I can hardly believe the superb company I'm in and the expert leadership we'll be under (not sucking up. It's just true). Lucky me.

Quite excited, again, to be part of the Cybils and with such great company, at that! Looking forward to holding long, detailed conversations all in trochaic tetrameter, just like last year!
