Delays, Delays . . .

Some of you may remember this blog entry, in which I brag up my entry in Slate.com's "Significant Objects" contest. Well, what was supposed to be announced today will now come "early next week," even though they've narrowed things down to the final 12, or so they say.

I think it's a clever ploy to get people to come back to the Significant Objects website. It's dastardly enough it just might work.

As with all of my writing, I look back on my submission now and think, "What a stinkeroo." And it's true. I can see its many flaws. That's part of writing, I suppose.
