Ahem.
I have a small number of mini-fruitcakes left to give away. They were made with dried fruit, candied ginger, honey, Goslings rum, and other good things of that ilk. They have been marinating in apple brandy for several days. I have two nutless fruitcakes and four with nuts that are looking for good homes. Please ping me at my profile addy if you'd like one.
Like innocence, fruitcake gone

Hubby is going through his work area and just said, "Oh, here's something your board might like. Ask them if anyone recognizes the ship designation SSN 700, and if they do they can have something related to that." He won't tell me what it's about, but there you go. Profile addy good if someone knows what he's talking about and might be interested in some item related to it.
Sean correctly ID's the number as belonging to the submarine USS Dallas from the movie "Hunt for Red October". Well, he ID'd it first. Kudos to everybody who knew! Hubby came up with a baseball-type hat that was a prop in the movie--he won't say how he got it--and he figured that, in a spirit of cleaning the house, he should see if anyone wanted it. But only if they were obsessed enough to know what the number meant.
