Congratulations are in order

Fishel gave us all a sneak preview a few posts ago, but now that the "thanks but no thanks" e-mails have gone out as well (got mine today) let me dedicate this post and its comments section to a hearty pat-on-the-back for (forgive me if I get this wrong):
Kim
Robin
Paul
Conan
Urvesh
Jessica
who, along with three people from other TASPs not affiliated with this blog, will be convening at Telluride House in a week to interview for a coveted bed in said House. Let me be the first on this forum to observe that all six of our proud representatives have demonstrated to us all their leadership, insight, and character (whatever that means), and are well worthy of this honor. Congratulations.
Do keep us posted on how that weekend goes.

Michael
