[Jean-Joseph Cote]

I'd be happy to conduct the next round, but for my shame in the fact 
that I didn't vote in this round.  Part of the reason why I didn't vote 
was because I looked at the definitions and saw that none of them were 
mine.  I was therefore pretty surprised when I saw that I was tied for 
first place.  I looked at the definition attributed to me, and not only 
did I not recognize it, it didn't even look like the kind of definition 
or wording I would have used, so I realized that there was a mistake.  I 
was even more surprised when I checked my Sent folder and found that I 
actually had sent it in, on January 2.  Nancy says that I was probably 
still drunk from New Year's, which seems unlikely since I haven't had a 
drink in the past quarter century or so.  But I think that Jan 2 might 
be Hutch's birthday, so I'll defer the honors to him.
