Blog of the Year!

"And the winner is...!"

We here at "Kevin Weyl" are humbled to announce that we are the recipient of the 2013 Bloggie, the international award for excellence in blog posting.

The award will be formally given at a white tie gala on April 1 at a resort in Connecticut.

We got wind of the announcement from one of our operatives very close to the balloting.  It came as a coded message during the weather report last night when the meteorologist said, and we quote,

"Tonight we expect lows of 20 degrees in some areas, especially along the Connecticut Shoreline."

20 votes are what is needed to win the award and since we are headquartered on the Connecticut Shoreline, we knew we had won!

It is an unbelievable honor to have been chosen from such impressive company, worldwide.

After all, we have a stunningly small amount of followers.  We have 31, when most successful blogs have readership in the hundreds of thousands.

"How can you win with such a paltry following", you might ask?

It is because, in post after post, we discuss the hot, and sometimes cold, topics of the day, with alacrity, aplomb, affectation and allure, not to mention alliteration and asymmentry.

Everything from politics to nostalgia is presented in a cogent and, occasionally apostrophized manner using metaphor and often, simple simile, to denote humour (sic) and poignansee (sic)

The Bloggie is awarded by a grand jury of, what are known as "Posting Peers", which is often confused with "Posting Piers", the unorthodox manner in which the CNN host rides.

The "Posting Peers" meet and talk about, at great length, the best posts of the year and vote, sometimes as many as one time, which was the case this year, for the most well written and grammatically correct post.

The 2013 Bloggie went to "Kevin Weyl" for the post "Spring Cleaning", written March 12, 2013.

We are honored and at a loss for descriptors.  We have enthusiasm but are loathe to exhibit the joy with which we greet this news for fear that we will be seen as arrogant and not noteworthily worthy.

So let us simply say "thank you" and let that be the end of it.

One ballot.  One winner.

One "Kevin Weyl."

Go forth and Prospero...

In nomini Patri, et fili et Bloggie sancti.

Awomen...
