Much like the rest of the publishing industry, this blog will be going on vacation until 2007. Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, Happy Dark Cold Weather to our friends in the north, and Happy Warm Glorious Summertime to our antipodean readership (Hi, Nalini, Sally, Justine, and Scott!) Sailor Boy and I are off to Florida.
I’m so grateful to everyone who has joined me on the ride this year, and I’m hoping that this Christmas brings everyone the gifts they most want, and that next year is full of glorious opportunities. I’ve so enjoyed communicating with everyone on the blog, and I want to thank people who keep coming back to read and comment — I’m not going to start naming names, but I do want to give a special shout out to Anonymous — you guys are the best.

And, (they heard her exclaim as she rode out of sight) to tide you over until I return, I present a Pachebel Rant by Rob Paravonian:
Sayonara, 2006!

Enjoy your break, Diana. Thanks for blogging all year long (not to mention writing a novel or two) to give us such fun things to read.

Happy Holidays! I hope you’re not getting the pouring (2+ inches in an hour!) rain that we’re getting in North Florida.

Merry Christmas, Diana, and Happy New Year. As you know, I loved your book (still do), and it led me to your blog, which has been a source of much pleasure and new knowledge. You even got me started on my own blog, which has now begun to enjoy a small succes d’estime in this burg.
So as I contemplate the past year, taking stock of where things stand vis-a-vis a twelvemonth ago, discovering your blog stands out as a high point. The words “thank you!” seem inadequate to convey proper gratitude for all you have done, but rather than devolve into mawkishness I’ll stop there.

Wonderful musical rant — almost fell off the chair laughing. Thanks for sharing.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Diana!
