Got my book this week. I’m all excited, and who can blame me? I’m fighting the urge to dive in. I have read the quote that opens the book, and I have read the first line, and I can report that they are both excellent. The second sentence will have to wait till next Tuesday.
\nToday’s post is another spot for chiming in if you’re planning on joining the ‘march, or for just saying hey to other ‘march-types. Based on the response to the launch post<\/b><\/a>, I’m guessing we’ll start with something like 20 folks on the trail. A nice number to tackle such a mighty tome.
\nIn last week’s post, I mentioned prizes. A few folks are first-timers, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to explain how that works.
\nTell me more about these so-called “prizes”<\/b>
\nOK. Read and finish the book and comment every week (starting next week), and the AtDDM prize mechanism will release a deathmarch mug or a magnet, your choice, like a mother hen dropping a mug or magnet-shaped egg. (note: prizes capped at 30 winners.)<\/i>
\nHere’s a look at a couple of past prizes (note: len flares not included):<\/i>
\n\"mug-blue.jpg\"
\nThe “I Survived the ‘Gravity’s Rainbow’ Deathmarch” mug<\/b>
\nAs you can see, the molecular structure of the GRDM mug is solid enough that all these many months later it can still securely contain a beverage such as milk, or chocolate milk, or orange juice. It calls to you, yes?
\n\"lighthouse-blue.jpg\"
\nThe “I Survived the ‘To the Lighthouse’ Deathmarch” magnet<\/b>
\nThe TtLHDM prizes should be going out to lucky winners shortly. While you can’t tell this from the picture, please take my word when I say that the magnetic pull of these beauties is so powerful that I had to have them delivered to me in sealed lead boxes to avoid adversely impacting the local tides.
\nAlright then — I hope the stakes are clear now and your collective mouths are watering as much as mouths can water in response to non-edible objects like mugs and magnets. See you back here next week, when we “single up all lines” and let boots and dust collide….
