Also, John had a really great idea the other day. I need a name for this blog/email thing – bad. I don’t like calling it a “newsletter”, churches and PTAs send “newsletters”. I also am against naming it anything that involves the letter ‘e’ as an abbreviated form of ‘electronic’ [e-newsletter would be the worst combination there].

That being said, that’s it. And I need your help. I know, I know – you’re all “busy” and “working” and stuff. So, to incent you a bit I’m offering up a gift card to some place Downtown. I haven’t figured out the where yet, or the how much – but we can sort that out later. At least $20, less than $50 [***special note, if any of you kind business owners who read this want to throw something in the pot to sweeten the deal for our fine readers, that’d be okay too.***]. I know you’re all clever people, and you all call this daily thing something different when you talk about it [and, it means the WORLD to me that you talk about it! :)], so pretty please hit “reply” and send me your suggestion. Or a bunch of ideas is okay too. Maybe we can all vote on them at the end of the week - make this a democratic thing?

Thank you!!!

Today’s Sign of the Impending Apocalypse:
Forgive me for today’s. It is a youtube. It is not suitable for the workplace [depending on your workplace]. There is violence. And blood. But it IS a sign of the apocalypse and you may even laugh. And Brian made me promise I’d use it. And I cannot make him forget that I said I would.
