      Thank you very much. I am too buzzed to sleep. You know I actually won it last year, which amazed me, but this piece is more me at heart than that one (which was a bit punchy and journalistic), so to be nominated for it is almost more gratifying.

    My congratulations as Well. I find them miraculously washed away, so second felicitations. I wrote in myoriginal that the author Saint Exupery, whose Petit Prince And last but not least le Renard are beloved companions And the delight I find in Scent, meet in your cherished writings, Cher m. Ginzaintherain. Joyous The day I first Came upon The Black Narcissus.

    You deserve this. Your writing compels me to search out different perfumes. I also hope your travel writing gets recognition. Your New Orleans pieces deserve rewards.
