  Bob, Joannie — If age was a contest I'd have both of you beat; but I rather win a photography contest than an age one. ;-)

This must be the latest date for judging AFP isn't it?

  No worries, friends... the game is still on. If you have not yet received an EP, we're still judging :)

Also, the May theme has been posted on the contest themes page.

The theme is "Floral Creativity" - So go out and find those flowers (or buy some from your local florist) and stretch! I want to see you try something you've never tried before.

Have fun!

  Looks like they are up to the 29th but that may or may not be complete. Then for the $64000 question (dating myself)... will they do the 30th and then go immediately to the second round? Will they start May and then do a second round? Will they do may and not do a second round? I think those are the only choices. Place your bets now... Congrats to all who have gotten eps so far and good luck getting more.

  I think, Irene, that I used that phrase only about half as much on my kids, as my parents used it on me, and, probably only about a quarter as much as Joannie's parents used it on her.... :-)
