    I’ll throw in an entry post for @-jeffB, whose postings on the General Discussion forum I enjoy. I can’t recall ever seeing him over here on the Contests forum, but here he is now. ;)

    I had a chance to meet him in NC earlier this year, and showed him my collection. Part of that show-and-tell session became this video about the Twelve Caesars. Despite some minor errors on my part (I was speaking without notes), I think the video turned out pretty well. Mostly thanks to my sister’s work.



    Jeff, I know you’re probably disoriented by suddenly being dropped into the middle of this contest. I just entered you in Round 8. The intro in Post #1 will explain what’s going on.

    #262 will be your lucky number in the drawing. (Since this is Post #262.)

    You may post an additional entry on your own behalf or for someone else, as you choose. That’ll double your chances.

    I'll put in for this round as I sit here and wait to see what time we will close the office today. Old scrooge up front isn't giving clues on an early release.
    Merry Christmas to all.

    Well, thank you! I believe I'll add another entry for @MeowtheKitty - I'm allergic to most cats, but every once in a while one gets past my defenses.

    And as for a cheery contribution, we got a surprise visit from our daughter and her boyfriend this afternoon - we've traditionally had a family Christmas Eve dinner, but his family was having their big gathering tonight, so we thought we wouldn't see them. She brought some gifts and treats, including these:

    Big, soft sugar cookies. My own mother made these every year around Christmas, and they were always my favorite. Mom passed on almost ten years ago, but pieces of her live on in me and my children - and one of those pieces kept the recipe!

    I'm about to do the Round 8 drawing and reveal @masterswimmer's mystery prize(s), since I'll be away from this desk over the weekend and I prefer to do these posts on a proper desktop computer with a keyboard and mouse. (I'll only have my phone over the weekend, and it's a pain to do all the hyperlinks and stuff with that.)

    It's been about three days, so that falls into the declared "2-4 days" round length.

    Then, after the Round 8 drawing is done and prize(s) posted, we'll move on to my own round in this contest: Round 9.
