Request Granted....additional winner announced!! (Contest Committee)

Wow...the kid's a fighter! Kylie Q, if we are ever playing a game, I always want to be on your team. Your tenacity is most impressive. Thank you for taking notice in the results of this contest and pointing out some details. There HAS been a change in winner status....drum roll.....
Brynley....are you listening???

Thanks for noticing the post, especially the steller part. Not that I thought this may happen, but the committe set up the rules at the beginning and now it is time to refer to them. By the way, is your middle name Florida? Should we be looking for those hanging chads?

See Rule #4 on Jan 11 posting: "The end of a week is Saturday at 12:00 a.m. The beginning of a week is Sunday at 12:01." True that....you definatly wrote on both 1st(s) of the month which were Sundays, which made you golden for that week beginning with the Sunday. But, for example, if you look at the week of Sunday, Jan 25 at 12:01 to Saturday, Jan 31st at 12:00 a.m, the committee has done a recount, searching high and low and cannot come up with your name anywhere in that window of time. As you may guess, this same most unfortunate occurance happened the last week of February 22nd to 28th.

The committee has gone back to look at how they (after two vote countings) had missed the "Dad" posting on March 8th. Computer glitch? The post is definately the words of your father and none other...no mistake, but it says "Posted by Kyle Poll" as the signer ...check it out. So even tho you did not post that day, you got the credit and the father did NOT.

So now the real funny thing is that since your father realized that he did not win, he said so himself, "why would I read the blog now that I know I didn't win". So somebody should tell him that there now has been a three-way tie. That would make your father 14 for 14 just like Kat and G'ma.

Welcome on the Gold Medal Stand Mr. Gary Poll. You are a WINNER!!!!
The prize money will now be divied up three ways and you can all fight over how it should be spent. The committee recommends not to spend it all in one place...ya know....all eggs in one basket sort of deal. These big financial planner type people in our family will know what that's all about. You may want to go with a split stock option, and rumor has it that bonds are NOT the way to go right now. Most are suggesting investing in real estate. So with that tip...you are on your own.
Congratulations to all. Kyle and Brynley, you may both want to take each other out to dinner! You'll feel better for it!
