Vote for the Best of 2007

Juggling Cats did it again.  He's submitting his best post of 2007 to try a new sword on a chance wayfarer and because I want to be just like him, so am I. Before we get to the voting, I just want to say that I poked around Kuri's site and it's quite impressive.   I'm adding it to the blogroll and, dammit, to my daily reading list.  He does stand-up comedy . .. his routine is well worth the click.

I decided that this was for single posts and as such I ruled out most of my stories, since they are episodic.  I think everyone overwhelmingly agrees that Alma the Lamanite was the best of those, which is why I'm turning it into a memoir.

So, narrowing it down to original, single-post entries, I've come up with the following list.  Please tell me in comments or email what you like best.  I'll send it to Kuri by the weekend.

• The Flight
  
  
• I Have a Dimple
  
  
• Past Lives
  
  
• The Moon and the Sun
  
  
• The Record Albums
  
  
• Religious Addiction

Well, what are you waiting for?

I'm not even going to predict what you people like the best of those.

hmmmmmm. i think perhaps past lives is the best written BUT it's not my #1

that goes to
THE RECORD ALBUMS. it got me to the bone. it was S A D. i could think that kid's (YOUR) thoughts

(2nd is the Moon and the Sun)

[John]

Hard choice, bud. But here goes.

1) Past Lives
2) Religious Addiction
3) Sun and Moon.

I hope the delegate race is settled before the convention...

[C. L. Hanson]

I vote for "The Record Albums" -- pure, beautiful tragedy. It made me want to go listen to Johnny Cash's “Walk the Line” (I don't even know how it goes...).

[Sugar]

I can't decide.
This is too hard.

1. Past Lives
2. Sun and Moon
3. The Record Albums

Ok, but then I just read The Record Albums again and it is so good.

My final vote for best ever is The Record Albums.

It is the best.

[Cherise]

I hate it when you do this, I like all of them for different reasons and the different feelings/emotions they conjure. ;) I am picking The Moon and the Sun because it was as unique as it was beautiful.

[julieann henneman]

Damn. This is too hard.

Okay.

I Have a Dimple
Past Lives
The Moon and Sun

Watch it; some day I might make YOU do the same for ME.

I vote for The Record Albums.

I'm going to put the post up today, BTW, but there's no need to rush your decision. I'll add your link whenever you're ready.

[SML]

My vote is Religious Addiction, of course. Perhaps because our dads are twins.

[Success Warrior]

Record Albums.

[CV Rick]

Record Albums is the winner. The Moon and the Sun came in a close second. I had 24 people vote, here or by email, and one by phone.

thanks everyone
