Dear Branka,
It is true there was a kind of magic in your approaching me for this POTW nomination, at least I felt so because the reason I had not been able to accept it previously dissapeared more or less by the time you sent me your message.
However, my mention to a magic wand of yours had to do rather with my probabilities of winning the award, which I considered to be not very likely until then; and was made in a playful mood to express the possibility that there was a supernatural intervention in it.
I believe Anamaria was satisfied that my not accepting a nomination either by her or by dear Pauline Raina, who also approached me at other time for the same reason, was not due to any lack of persuasion but to sheer lack of time on my part. So you are right, and she was joking when she said she did not know what you had done for me to accept it.
Best Wishes,
Luis Miguel Goitizolo
