Some things that are hard for some people are easy for others. When the person who has it easy does something for the person who doesn’t, it is a strange sensation. On the one hand, the beneficiary feels eternally grateful and more than slightly mortified; but for the other person, it’s no big deal, really. She was probably glad she could help.

Moving right along, I was going to post the “Blogalike” entries I got earlier this week, but I was holding out for emails from people who said they would send them and didn’t because they clearly enjoy toying with my fragile emotions. As it is, I have two delightful submissions and will be posting these on Friday; if you want to get something in before then, you’re welcome.

Who will walk away with the Amazon.com gift certificate? Possibly no one, as I’m investigating the possibility of issuing one from Powells.com, instead. La la la.
