We don't actually celebrate Christmas, but I know there will be no readers today. But for those of you who ARE around, let me take this opportunity to say thanks. Thanks so much for reading, for picking on my typos, for giving me feedback, and for keeping me writing! And for you especially who send the long comments with the crackpot theories (you probably have no idea who you are), thank YOU especially. Because we all gotta laugh. Have a happy day wherever you are!
