INTRODUCTION...

Every once in while we rhythmically pound our heads against the hand-stacked stone SELEDA aTir gibbi, and in muffled voices whisper, "We are not worth the 'eda' in SELEDA!" Just a little ritual we employ to ground us from the erratic high we get when Life Diarists submit sublime offerings that make us feel this big [take thumb and slap against index finger].

Speaking of being on cloud nine, we were ready to set up permanent residence between that cute stratocumulus and that foreboding nimbostratus when January's Life Diarists finally agreed to hold court.

In the hunter green/sage corner: Beyroutawit Lakew, an MBA-(no, she has not sold her soul yet, but it is on the market) student at what some SELEDAns snidely call "the other l'il Ivy League". In the bluey blue corner: Nemo Semret, president and CEO of Invisible Hands Networks , which, we were chagrined to find out, is neither invisible nor a hand. But that's between him and his gods.

Their entries traverse two continents. And if it were up to us we would have coerced them into scribing nine entries. Regrettably, we found the current kidnapping laws a little bit too... we dunno... constraining and stuff. Besides, some people might think it'd be rude.

We have not ruled it out completely, however, but until then, enjoy...
