Now would be the point where I would round up everyone’s totals, including mine, and brag on how much money we raised for worthy causes, but if the conversations I’ve had with my pals are any indication, this year’s Blogathon was much, much harder than last year’s, and we all need to go to bed, already.
So I will save a proper roundup for another time. For now, I will say that a) over 285 bloggers raised over $97,000; b) pledges will be accepted for another 48 hours; c) everyone involved did a brilliant job; and d) compared to where I was at this moment 24 hours ago, I am very, very happy.
How could I forget? Thanks to everyone who pledged, donated, kept company, encouraged, cossetted, flirted, covered me when I needed coverage (good morning, Keith!) or provided a place for me to blog when I thought all was lost. Thank you, each and every one.
And thanks to Lloyd for being such a good sport when I announced I had to disappear for the night. Honey, I’ll be right there.


Nicely done! If I’m not mistaken, you only nodded off once, and I’m sure we can blame that entirely on my poor DJ skills.
