A funny thing happened on the way to the morning

I got up and found a surprising message from CC that she had appointed me as a host of this group. I think it's temporary. She is taking a trip.
I'm able to pin threads up now and clean house, too. So if you simply continue to be nice to me, there will be no problem.

I noticed the pinned thread by Tindalos, of early December, about where to hold the contests.
Some of those areas at that time considered no longer exist, and I think that thread has lost its relevancy, because I will run the new contest in GD as always, now that we have GD back.

I'm going to unpin it, for those reasons and just because I can. But I'll wait a little while, like a day or so, in case anyone objects. I'll be watching this note to see if there are comments.

At least while you are host....................let me know if I get grumpy.

This is going to be a widely anticipated contest, if it comes about! LOL.

I've made it important to me to keep the spirit alive without being so pushy and annoying that we don't get what we need.
I do believe it will soon come to pass now.

Hi Mira,

Congrats on being a group host. I haven't been around much lately, but it's good to hear the polls are (fingers crossed) coming soon. Hopefully there won't be any more complications once that is settled. After this, I think you should be exempt from hosting contests for a while as you have done an amazing job under adversity already.
