Well, it is time to vote! There were several last minute entries (people near and dear to my own style), pushing the grand total up to 25, which ties the all-time record. Sure, I nudged, prodded, pleaded, even cajoled, but I think you will agree that it makes for a better Challenge!
Being the data geek that I reluctantly admit to be, I put all of the submissions into a spreadsheet and did a little bit of analysis. I was going to ask a bunch of questions here, but I decided to hold off until tomorrow and use that as the basis of Wednesday’s quiz. Here is one brief question for you:
Who currently holds the longest active streak of consecutive admissions to the Challenge?
Here are all the articles in alphabetical order (by author). They have also been posted over on www.mwwcblog.wordpress.com in more or less chronological order. You can also select #MWWC9 as the category and it will pull them all up (at least it should). I posted the poll to vote over there as well, which I think is best for future votes as well, but let me know if you disagree. You can vote for up to three articles.
If you have written a post and it is not on this list, you need to email me at jeff(at)thedrunkencyclist(dot)com

NO, it is not a mistake. There is no post. I know, I know–I was traveling a bunch and trying to run the challenge. I have about ten posts in the hopper right now (at least) and I figured the theme was really lame. Whoever chose it is a real tool….
