Here We Go

Good Morning.  May peace and safety flood Texas, as opposed to rain water and rivers.

It seems sort of selfish to begin this silly contest when there is so much going on to bring us to tears.  Please help how, where, and as you can.  Let's see if we can muster a few smiles, though;  let the nominations begin.  You have today, tomorrow and Thursday to put your names in the comments sections.  You are allowed up to three nominees for Knitters' Hunk, and up to three for Knitters' Chick.

This year, I'm going with
Chris Evans
Robert Redford
Khary Payton
and
Lucy Liu
Keira Knightley
Melissa McBride.

You?
