A big thank-you to Kevin Siers and the Judges for selecting my caption this week. I would be remiss if I didn't also thank Mr. Mayor for being soooo inspirational !! You Write the Caption is definitely my favorite part of the paper, and I hope it stays around for a long long time. As always, I am looking forward to the next challenge !!
