Giddy Up! Congrats on moving on - now that I "know" so many of the entrants, this year will be more fun than my first. Of course it'll suck as we start to drop off, round by round, but it's cool to have company, whether in the Winner's Circle or the Loser's Lounge!

Heather said...

I'm raising a glass to you Michael! Congratulations! And thank you for giving me the courage to enter. Though I didn't advance to the next round thanks to your encouragement I've entered a new contest! Unfortunately, it's the voting kind... :-/

I love your graphics, Michael. And the great thing about cyber-desserts -- no calories!!

May we all we know make it through the excerpt round. That round unsettles me a little. Gypsy, my cat, just snickered at me. It is a sad thing to be snickered at by your own cat! LOL. Roland

dolorah said...

Champaigne please. Of course. And then a strawberry daquiri. And while I'm at it, those vittles look too enticing to leave and go back to work.

Thanks for the extravagance Michael. I think I'll be able to make it through my day now :)
