I was writing that after midnight last night and definitely wasn't clicking on all cylinders. <BR/><BR/>Marjorie, Sandra hasn't said what shenanigans might go on among that dog, cat and guinea pig. Who knows, there might be a menage-a-trois thing going on there too. Although I'm certain none is going to be a sculptress (grin).<BR/><BR/>I want to add my thanks to Dame Judith Anderson from 4MA for her help in checking folks out at the Silent Auction and totaling things up. She also told me more about building custom fishing rods than I ever thought I'd know. Thanks DJ.<BR/><BR/>One additional comment: I'm also looking forward to watching "The Wire - Season One" and reading Peggy Ehrhart's "Sweet Man Is Gone" and Robert Ellis' City of Fire", which I won at the Silent Auction.David Magaynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17856263673051372800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30465003.post-22699140359502682922008-10-16T12:25:00.000-04:002008-10-16T12:25:00.000-04:00My very generous friend and fellow "Friend of Laur...My very generous friend and fellow "Friend of Laurie" (as in Laurie R. King), was delighted to have won her naming rights after such a fierce competition (and such a huge donation to a very worthy cause). Ms. King has informed the winner that the character named in her honor will be a sculptress living in a menage-a-trois in the bohemian England of the 1920's. And that has to be just about as great as being named for a guinea pig! LOL. No, make that even better! What a great time the auction was. Thanks to all of you for making it possible. <BR/><BR/>--MarjorieMarjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10157505682237167283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30465003.post-16528755424220256762008-10-16T10:00:00.000-04:002008-10-16T10:00:00.000-04:00That very generous bidder not only won naming righ...That very generous bidder not only won naming rights for a guinea pig in my next book, but also a dog and a cat. It's great to know that in these gloom-and-doom times, some people are still willing to contribute to worthwhile causes like the wonderful Pratt Library and Viva House.Sandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.com
