I haven't logged in for a few weeks. I was talking with a friend about holidays and I remembered your lists. He's looking over my shoulder as I type this. Thanks again for the info-tainment.

I don't log in every day, but I think I would like it the day before. It seems the information might be more useful that way.
We can start astounding our friends and coworkers first thing in the morning.
Thanks again for taking the time to share this stuff,
