Dear friends,
Because my fellow 'thonners and I are responsible for 48 posts in 24 hours, some of my posts may seem a bit, well, brain-dumpy. Your patience and continued good humor is appreciated. You may have noticed that I'm a fan of the long-winded verbosity, particularly in foodish matters, but it usually takes me about 1/2 hour just to get the long-winded verbosity engine powered up. I probably will not have the luxury of doing that today, although hell, I'll try to do what I can. We are allowed to work on long posts, as long as we continue to post shorter posts in the interim, but Bog almighty, who would be lunatic enough to do that?
(Hi, my name is Jen and I'll be your server today...)
One thing I don't want to let slip by today: I owe a lot of people a lot of love, including but not limited to my growing list of sponsors, who have collectively pledged over $400 to Windows of Hope. Dearhearts, you will all be hearing from me. And I want to give some public love to Angela, who will be monitoring my site today to make sure I'm playing fair. Angela, I understand you're feeling a bit sleep-deprived. Would you like me to fax you some espresso cookies?
