Awesome. Those are both your states/sites in the winnings. We should get you to redesign our library website. Ha! Congrats!

Yes, they are! It feels good to have my work recognized. I can't take all the credit, though... I was a part of awesome teams both times around and have to give big ups to those guys as well.

You know, I've never looked at your library website. I think I'll scurry over there momentarily.

Thank you for the congratulatory sentiments, good sir!
