Just letting you know that there are 3 days left in Brenda Novak's auction. I am offering a Jani gift basket containing books and goodies related to Jani's life.

Haven't seen a new bid for...quite some time.

Jani would really, really appreciate it. I mean, you may not be a fan, or you may already have the books. In either case, there are many other cool things to bid on.

But, you know, Jani would appreciate a few more bids.

Lucien would, too.

Tsecha doesn't get this whole auction thing.

Niall is bemused.

John is pondering acting as a shill, even though he knows Jani would kill him.

Note the big-eyed puppy icon.

Hot

It is the very start of the Memorial Day weekend in Madison, and it is HOT! Lo-mid 80s hot, which takes me by surprise. 70s are more usual, even the rainy 60s. Not today. Things start to cool off tomorrow, lucky for me given the clothes I brought. Pants, jackets.

I'm in the Concourse lobby, awaiting my room. The drive up was uneventful and pleasant--once I cross the border into Cheeselandia, I take Highway 50 to 12/18, aka The Scenic Route, through small towns and rolling farmland. Cloudless blue sky. Lambs and horses and cows and donkeys. iPod plugged in, playing tunes of choice--Blondie, Belle & Sebastian, Social Distortion. An eclectic mix.

Lunch at the Noodle Company. Pad Thai Chicken. Stopped by Shakti and bought a few surprises for the gift basket, along with a few things for me.

The first thing I'm going to do when I get into my room is shower. I mean. Damn.
