Okie Blog Awards are Up...

...and cutting to the chase, CycleDog didn't win.

Tasha Does Tulsa did win in the Best Culture Blog, however, and Natasha's blog is well worth reading. I first stumbled across her when she wrote about the Tulsa Tough back in June.

The whole list is on Okiedoke.com

I'd thought about attending the dinner, but it simply slipped my mind. Then the usual Saturday activities took over my limited attention, and after a day spent mowing, edging, and cutting down a sickly tree, I was too beat to even consider going out for a meal. Let's just say I have a 25 year old ego trapped in a middle-aged body. I overdid it today and now I'm paying the price.

But enough of that. My congratulations to all the winners! There's some good writing in that list, so take the time to read it. I'll candidly admit that Tasha Does Tulsa and Red Fork Hippie Chick are two of my favorites.

Nominated for an Okie Blog Award!

2007 Okie Blog Awards Voting Now Open

The Okie Blog Awards celebrates its third year in recognizing and honoring the excellence of diversity by bloggers within Oklahoma through popular nominating and voting. The awards were established by, and are decided by and for, Oklahoma bloggers exclusively.

CycleDog has been nominated for Best Culture Blog. But I'll freely admit I know almost nothin' about culture, except for the kind that grows on stuff left in the refrigerator too long.

Seriously, though, I'm honored to merely be nominated. My thanks to whoever is responsible, 'cause I certainly don't know who did it.

Locally, we're discussing improving bicycle culture here in the Tulsa area. But those talks are on-going and more properly should be in another, longer post sometime soon.

Now, I just got in from my afternoon commute. Mother and daughter are wrinkling their noses whenever I'm nearby. I'll take the hint and go get a shower.
