FW: Ballot for heald

[Fran Poodry]

I tried to send this earlier but I somehow didn't: my e-mail access is not
unreliable but I would say unstable here.  Where's here?  I am at a workshop
for AP teachers in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.  It is way too hot, and the
promised "wireless internet in the dorms" is accessible in the hallway
outside my room but not really at all IN my room.  Anyway, reminder to vote
by Wednesday!  It is anyone's round at this time in the voting!

OK, here they are.  All nouns.  No foods this time.  I'll give you one week
to vote: please send one 1-point vote and one 2-point vote by Wednesday
evening, July 19th, 9 PM EDT.
