Thank you, Mark. That was gracious.
I loved your submissions.
Great contest. Really made you stretch the imagination an Einstein working as a waitress. The winner’s sentence is very elegant it leads you like all good sentences do. I must admit I wanted to win. I really loved the contest it was a great idea. It made me stretch. Good job, Ray and great idea.
Thank you very much, lennard.
