hey guys,

since jenny is going through so much, i don't want to pressure her with our little challenge right now -- take your time, jenny, and come back to us when you can.

however, at the same time, i don't want to leave the ones who are playing hanging. so, like last year, what i have done is picked a random number from the pool -- HI ELE! ele will now pick a random number and issue a challenge. when jenny is able to come back, she will challenge ele. if that turns out to not be possible, we'll figure something else out -- perhaps angie can issue you a challenge, or if angie is not back yet, i can do it, etc etc. we'll get creative!

so dear ele, the list to pick from is:
1. vani
2. rute
3. shana
4. anne
5. susan

the last person will challenge aj. the random number generator is at http://www.random.org. good luck!
