Watcher's Council Nominations & An Opening

Each week, the members of the Watcher's Council nominate one of their own posts and a second from outside the Council for consideration by other council members in a contest for best post. The Watcher publishes the results each Friday morning.

There is an opening at the Council if you would like to nominate your blog for the Council. If you go to the Watcher's site, you will find instructions on how to apply on the right-hand sidebar.

Terry Trippany plays the role of Watcher of Weasels. Do visit the Watcher's Site for his theme of the week. This week, its "The Benjamin Button Society" - pondering the The 1922 F. Scott Fitzgerald short story and the devolution of our society. It's a good post I highly recommend.
