    Sorry for the bad url. I added it to the flickr pool. Copy and paste doesn’t work on my Firefox OS X when submitting. Chrome doesn’t seem to work at all on that form either. Still, no excuse for lazy web addresses.

  My favorite gift this year was a This is a jar of rutabega that I received from my Aunt Judy. She knows I love it, because I always take as many left-overs as I can carry on Thanksgiving. It’s a gift that is uniquely available from someone I know. It’s not a huge amount of effort, but it is hugely appreciated. Jesus would like this way more than a gift card from Best Buy.
