FYI -Thought you'd be interested in a design I'd submitted to a contest at www.wooden-nickel.com. Voting runs through tomorrow if you'd like to vote. Voting has been close, but another worthy coin seems to surge ahead each night.
The design was based on the song "On Leaving" that I learned of through your site some time ago. I also use the signature line below on a forum I belong to - The Military Association of GeoCachers (www.militarycache.org).
Below is the e-mail I sent out to my friends and family.

Greetings,Greyhawk says: What are you waiting for? Go vote! (You don't even have to register!)Since I don't forward any of the jokes, inspirational stories, urban legends or other stuff that I'm always asked to "forward to everyone you know", I hope you'll excuse this brief interuption in your e-mail.
In case I didn't include you on my first e-mail, no, I'm not running for office. I have, however, entered a design contest at www.wooden-nickel.com. If you've already voted for me once or more, thanks!
My design (see attachment) was selected as one of the five finalists to be voted on by the public. If I win I get 100 wooden nickels free, which I primarily use to as 'swag' to leave in geocaches I found
If you feel so inclined, I hope you'll consider voting for my design (#4) by going to http://www.wooden-nickel.com/contest/ and simply selecting a check box. You can even vote once per day per network you use. For instance, once from home and once from work (per company policy) or other location. So you can actually vote early AND often (through April 30th). If you see the vote breakdown instead of the checkboxes, it means you or someone else on your network has already voted that day. The counter is reset about 9 AM Eastern each day.
My design (#4) has been in the lead except for a brief period during the last 24 hours, but my margin has been shrinking. I'm basically in competition with one other design. Between us, we've had about 65-70% of the vote since shortly after it began.
This company also has an ongoing deal where they will send you 4 free Support Our Troops nickels. Details are at http://www.wooden-nickel.com/freedom/.
If you would like to read the soldier's letter to his family that was the the inspiration for the wording, you can go to http://www.mudvillegazette.com/archives/002958.html. To listen to and excerpt of the song inspired by the letter, go to http://cdbaby.com/mp3lofi/3dbdown2-10.m3u.
Thanks ,
