contest update

Quite a few new entries today on the contest, and some small squeaks of concern. Heidi, you only entered once, so don't worry. Also an entry from Switzerland-- near my old stomping grounds-- so I have to say: gruetzi. We've also got Jerusalem and lots of readers from Down Under. Haven't seen entries from many of the people who did try for the ARC (the northern Europeans staying out of this one?) but maybe they'll still jump in. There's more than a month til the drawing.

Here's an idea: if it hits two hundred entries, I'll pull two names out of the hat and give a signed first edition to both of them.

Picasso

I have always meant to read a biography of the man, but maybe this very wonderful quote (snurched from Red's website) tells me really all I need to know:
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.

-- Pablo Picasso
