Update: I made the Top 5<\/span> in the ChangeEffect<\/a> story contest, in which the winner gets a 3-day, 2-night trip to Chicago (and a Cubs game). For some background, I’ve written about it already here <\/a>and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since this is the final round, all previous votes have been cleared and the whole thing starts over. So if you’re inclined to vote for me again — and I sincerely hope you are <\/span>so inclined — head back over there<\/a> for one last vote. You get one vote per computer and email address.<\/p>\n

Click here to read the story I submitted<\/a>, about my grandfather.<\/p>\n

Go here to read all the stories<\/a>… if you have, like, a half-day to waste. Seriously, it would take awhile. Your best bet is to trust me when I tell you that mine should win. While we’re at it, you should also trust me when I tell you that I am humble, generous, ruggedly handsome, and a fantastic dancer.<\/p>\n

And here is where you go to vote<\/a> for my story. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n

(And while we’re on the topic, if you’re interested, you can visit our family blog to see a picture of my granddad<\/a>. He’s the older gentleman in the white shirt and suspenders. As you might expect.)<\/p>\n

OK. Carry on…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
