Sorry to leave people hanging.  I've been entering survey
data, figuring out who was eligible for prizes, figuring
out who won the prizes, sending out the notice of who won
the prizes according to each person's preferred method
(email or postal mail) (sometimes having to resend email
due to misread email addresses), and delivering the
prizes.  A 31-year-old won the first-prize CryoBear, and an
8-year old who specifically requested the bear won the
second-prize chocolate, so with very little arm-twisting I
bought a second bear for the kid -- you can take away my
Objectivism license now :-) .  I did feel better when I
found out that the winner Von was short for Yvonne -- you
can take away my feminism license too :-) .

All this while doing the most complicated taxes I've ever
had to deal with (but <happy-dance> -- they're done now!)

Next I'll be trying to see what interesting data (if any)
I can wring out of an 80-person data sample.  As a friend
of mine said today, "If you torture the data long enough,
it *will* confess." :-) .  Maybe by the end of the weekend
I'll have enough tidbits to be worth posting....

Live long and prosper,
Kennita
