Passed over again

The MacArthur Foundation just announced their genius grants for 2007. Once again, I was overlooked. Clearly, they did not ask my mother who deserved a grant this year. Oh well, I'll be a good sport and send my best wishes to the winners and take satisfaction that an Alaskan, Sven Haakanson, executive director of the Alutiiq Museum in Kodiak, made the cut this year.
