Goodbye and Good Riddance 2009: So long and thanks for all the fish.  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2009? Don't think we've forgotten about you

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, Kate!!! Congratulations!

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

So I got home this afternoon to find a package waiting for me, containing:

    • An Alaska clock.
    • A Juneau, Alaska calendar
    • A couple of Alaska picture books
    • Some German chocolates.

So, obviously, my Secret Santa is Fiona libkitty! Thank you, libkitty!!

Our wings are not tired.

Paging Miracle Man: Can you please make sure you have a camera handy to take a pic of Aims opening her Sooper Sekrit Santa gift? Should be there next week. Thanks!

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I was hoping that they would arrive before New Year's at least! Yeah!!

I know that the chocolates aren't Belgian, but they're my favoritest, so they should be everyone's, right? Anyway, I hope that you enjoy them, and that all the Alaska stuff doesn't make you feel transported here until the middle of some stifling hot day in the summer, when you can feel cooled by looking at the outhouse on the glacier, or calving ice.
