Rites of Spring Winners

(Cue background music)

(The primal rhythms of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring pound from my speakers)

Oregon Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Anne Mueller and Company Artist Lucas Threefoot in The Rite of Spring.

Thanks to all the kind folks who dropped by during the Rites of Spring Blog hop. Your copies of The Midas Rush are either on their way to you, or will be soon.

It is, obviously, difficult to top The Midas Rush as a wonderful prize.     However, the winners of the Grand Prize draws have also been announced. Here they are:

1st Place: Kindle Fire

Entry #4 – Karl

2nd Place: $50 Amazon gift certificate

Entry #187 – Chum B.

My special thanks to the organizers of the Hop, authors Jessica Subject and Heather Long!

Quotations about Winning

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

- Michael Jordan

Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.
If winning isn’t everything, why do they keep score?

Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is.

Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
Winners never quit, and quitters never win.

- all by Vince Lombardi (the man must have been a tad competitive)
