I went to the Sooper-Seekrit mailbox on Saturday, and found several entries for the Parker-Hale drawing, in the form of papyrus checks, cuneiform tablets and some cash (sent by people who still trust the USPS[!]).
Fear not; all of you were entered in the drawing, which I did the next day (Sunday).
One attached note was particularly touching: “If I’m too late for the drawing, just send the money on to the Widow Irish anyway.”
I have the best Readers on the Internet.
And by the way: I spoke to her yesterday and she sends her joyous thanks to everyone here.
