Ain't this snazzy?

Second!

The results of the 2006 Catholic Blog Awards have been finalized (and I've decided that I'm not going to ask for a recount - hehe). My gratitude to everyone who voted for me - you rock!

Congratulations to Gerald Augustinus @ Closed Cafeteria for taking first. Gerald has lived in no fewer than three of the same cities as I have - so perhaps something about these locales creates atmospheric conditions favorable to blogging? Who knows? Either way, I'm still waiting for a video podcast of him kayaking the San Diego river.

Congratulations also to Cosmos-Liturgy-Sex for taking third - a very deserving blog in my opinion. They have a fine panel of contributors on very important topics. My collaboration with David on the Cardinal George Fanclub has been a very pleasant and productive experience.

And of course, thanks to Josh at CyberCatholics for hosting/running the awards.

Finally, there is now a forum where people can post reactions and suggestions about the CBA.

[NB: I promise this is the last you'll hear about the CBA for awhile - back to the blogging!]
