Assuming that this is not a belated April Fool's joke
(I've not seen this announcement posted anywhere yet
except on this listserve), we're happy to be nominated
again, and we're very grateful for the support of the
WSFA members who nominated us.

Wow.  When I heard the news that ConJose had announced
the nominees, I had assumed that Mimosa did not make
the short list this year, because we'd heard nothing.
Normally, the Hugo Administrators give you some
advance notice and a chance to decline (not that many
people ever do).
