We'll see if I can even keep the links current on this puppy, let alone bang out prose for it. I'm in reporting-and-writing-for-a-real-live-paper mode, in my home state of Pennsylvania. But I'll tell ya something. I really, very badly need some Christmas lists from folks. I don't know if my immediate family tries to keep up with what I write, but I'm begging them, in particular, to send their lists to me -- one way or another. And it'd be fun to check out what all of you clowns who have looked at this blog like -- just in case I ever win the lottery. It's gonna be another homemade Christmas this year, one way or another, but it helps to know what you guys are diggin'.
