Just checked out the auction, ha. Glad you put it up there, looks like you did earn more money that way. Means I’m way out of the running though. $15k is incredible! Glad it’s going to a good cause.

It’s up to $15,100.00 now. I don’t have the money to compete with that, but if I did, I’d use the favor to ask you to co-author a short story with me. :)

holy smokes, the auction is already at 8.200 dollar! That’s more money than I have on all my savings counted together. And with me all other students I guess :).

You’re probably gonna be won by an old lady with lots of money.

Pat, you never cease to amaze me. I look forward to hearing how you grant the winning “wish,” and I commend your bravery!

Sending you lots of love and best wishes for a successful auction!

I would just ask for a conversation over wine, nothing fancy. Let me pick your brain, kind sir, and I shall do the same.

Would you pretend to be my long lost brother at my birthday party?

Or better yet, my long lost brother at our mother’s birthday party? That one would really throw everyone for a loop.

ok Pat — here’s a Big Question(tm) for you.

How much to BUY a golden ticket? Why leave it to chance?

(and no, I don’t have any nefarious idea of what to do. I’d probably just fly you out to Seattle on my dime and buy you dinner with my friends at some super-fancy restaurant…its about the *time*, not the $$)
