Squeeze us your thumbs!

The headline is what happens when German is translated into English word by word. In Germany, you 'squeeze your thumbs" for someone or something when you wish that someone or something luck.

After this long and uninteresting introduction, I reluctantly get to the point: I have handed in an application for a conference grant to send the three members who showed interest to the Calgary boardgame convention, and an application for an event grant to hold the first annual Settlers of Catan tournament. I asked for $656 total.

We'll know the results by September 21, apparently.

So, squeeze, people, squeeze.
