It’s 11 a.m. and I’ve already blogged 800 words — can you tell that my Sunday stories are now finished?

Anyway, I leave this afternoon for Louisiana, where my grandmother’s house and my childhood bed await. I get to spend the weekend trying to revitalize my decrepit, six-year-old Power Mac 7200 (90mhz! 500MB hard drive! 16MB RAM!) for my grandmother’s email use. Basically, it’ll be a test to see how large I can make icons without giggling. I’ll blog from there (assuming I can get the 7200 to work), but in any event, I wish all my readers a merry Christmas and a happy holiday. Doing this site has been great fun, and it’s all (sniff) because of (sniff) you guys. (must…not…cry…)

Oh, and Erica, if you didn’t believe me when I told you I was from the Frog Capital of the World, eat your words.

You think I'm going to believe you just because of some website?! Think again. I know how you journalists spin things for your benefit. I'm not going to believe it. Nope. Not ever. Well, not until you bring me some frog legs back.

Have a great trip!
