Thanks to Judy for the kind donation to this blog, and bonus after-school special thanks to Michelle and anyone else who donated to my sister-in-law’s request on DonorsChoose. With your kind help, she met her goal, and her students will have new learning tools.

Thanks for the tip, Jaye! Much appreciated.

Well, I was going to go out to eat tonight, and I got all the way to the restaurant only to discover I’d left my wallet at home. I took this as a sign that it was my destiny to eat in.

First, a shout-out to Eve S. for her tip. Thank you, Eve.

As we celebrate (or avoid) this after-Thanksgiving period (I refuse to use the apocalyptic name the media seems to have settled upon), I direct your attention to the sidebar of the site, where I’m experimenting with different Amazon.com affiiate offers. When you begin your shopping adventure on this site, I get a small affiliate payment.

This is the last bit of monetizing I plan to do with the site, and I hope you don’t find it annoying or intrusive. I welcome your comments and do what I can to act on them.

Big thanks to Patricia and Sara! Much appreciated.

OK, fires have been put out, so back to normal tomorrow.
