Elected! Thanks

First of all, this post is from the living room of my son's house in Elkridge MD. I'm en route to ALA Legislative Day, and am spending the night here. He writes computer code for an un-named defense contractor. He has wi-fi, but only for the TiVo! The really high speed computers are hard wired.

The ALA Election results are in, and thanks to all who voted for me, I was elected to ALA Council as an "at Large" member.

I took the email I received and pasted it into Excel (eventually) so that I could sort from highest to lowest on the vote count. (The ALA list is alphabetical so you can find your favorite candidate.) I'm going to try pasting it below. The difference in the number of votes from the #1 vote getter this year to the last person elected was 1,553. The difference on the bubble was 11.

A quick analysis shows that I have little influence since I recommended folks on both the top and the bottom of the list.
