Mostly whimsy and drivel of no consequence. And CHEESE.
In case you haven’t noticed, I am providing a valuable holiday service to you – FREE, gratis, complimentary, on the house – you get the picture. Well, actually the picture is over that way:
See “Capitalism Runs Rampant.”
Every day (or so) I shall post FREE holiday gift suggestions that I have gleaned from my Mother’s innumerable catalog selections. This means that you could order any of these thoughtful and practical gifts from the comfort of your own armchair or bathtub! (Perhaps scratch bathtub because of electricity and whatnot.)

Wheee!!! I can’t wait!
I know that both your mom and mine get about a kazillion catalogs; and the two of them probably get pretty much the same kazillion.
(My personal favorite is “Harriet Carter”, which features everything from a special toilet seat for your cat to those plastic “rain scarves” for your hair to pimple vacuums. Whenever I went to my Grandma’s I’d spend hours browsing through the catalogs she’d saved for me, dreaming of the day I’d become a millionaire and would be able to buy myself one of every item.)
Hey—I had some fabulous cheese this last weekend! We went to my brother-in-law’s graduation at Duke, and they had this fabulous mild cheese with grapes in it. Don’t know for the life of me what it’s called, but it was GOOD! I ate too much though, and was soverign ruler of the porcelain throne the rest of the evening.

I wonder if the force of the pee causes the tee-pee to rise in the air…just a little…like a rocket. That would be AWESOME!

Hey! Speaking of pee, I think I found out what my mysterious diarrhea-inducing cheese was: boursin Gournay w/figs, raisins & nuts. Yum! (Don’t try the cranberry & black pepper–it’s just not the same.)
