Just a quick note because I'm busy being impatient for it to be tomorrow ... My preordered Welcome to My World is on its way, and I'm buying "Dirty Love" the minute the "buy" button is working on the widget! Now THIS is Happy New Weir!

Also: Thank you to all who are working so hard to show support for Johnny with our effort to see him skate in the exhibition at Nationals, through emails, tweets, the sign brigade at the Today Show, and everything else. Yes, I know it's a long shot. And I know there are varying opinions on this issue among fans. But in our wonderful diversity, there is great strength, and a lot of love for Johnny.

For those who are participating, here's a snapshot of our Twitter campaign as of about 5 a.m. EST today--thank you!! Please keep it going, and please keep writing those emails!

Best wishes to Johnny for an amazing kick-off week, and fingers crossed that Welcome to My World makes it to the NY Times bestseller list! (It's already #1 on Amazon in "Ice Skating and Figure Skating," and #7 in "Sports Biographies"!)

BRB watching that count-down clock ...
