Also discovered this AM that, without my knowledge, I won the 2010 Readers’ Choice Award at a magazine where I mostly wrote a local business column, as well as occasional “new restaurant” items–such a small victory that it was apparently almost entirely imperceptible. Nonetheless, even the tiniest victory is a victory.
