Dear Readers:
First, thank you to those of you who pledged. You can see the full list on my campaign page.
Second, thank you to those of you who sent pictures, commented throughout the night, made me laugh on IM, and were generally supportive.
Third, thanks to Suki, monitor extraordinaire.
Fourth, thanks to my fellow bloggers, especially those of you who also made it all the way through.
Finally, thank you to folks who read, but didn't post. I'm sure that next year, you'll be willing to actually pledge money. Or at least comment.
There will be more formal acknowledgements in a day or so – right now I barely know MY name, let alone any of yours.
If you haven't pledged yet, because you wanted to make sure I finished the blogathon, this would be a good time. If not, well, pledging will remain open through Monday. There's still time.
And on that note, I'm going to bed for a very long time.
Exeunt, singing:
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I have a great notion
to jump into the river and drown
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
Iâ™ll see you in my dreams.
