I recently entered an essay contest commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I found I didn't win, which was disappointing, mostly because the 1st place prize was 300 $. A sum I am not opposed to winning. Regardless, yesteday I got this nice email:
Jacob,
As one of the reviewers for the MLK Essay Contest, I just want to tell you how much I enjoyed and admired your entry in the contest. Though it did not receive a prize, it was still my favorite -- and so well-written.
You are a remarkable writer, and I hope you keep it up!

It's so nice to get stuff like this from people you have never met, and may never meet. If you want to read the essay I wrote, I'll post in on my other blog.

Good job Jacob! I want to read it!
Way to go Jacob.
That's awesome! I'd love to read it and your other writings, but sadly, I'm not invited. Can I be invited? You may not even remember me at all, but your wife will, I think.
