I'm sad to see you drop out of the witness race, but I can fully understand why now that I read your explanation. Thanks for your efforts and I'm sure you will continue from your other angles.

Congratulations on having such a lovely family; I wish them and you the very best!

I'm not sure if this is just a one-off or the start of my weekly contest actually getting some traction, but I'm happy to report that there are suddenly lots of participants this week. Luckily, I now have a vote slider and can still give all participants an up-vote. With the price of Steem up, even at less that 100% VP, everyone still gets a nice little gift just for participating. I'm eager to see that increase.

Wishing all your readers a very happy new year!
