The response after we started soliciting subscriptions last week was pretty inspiring.  79 subscribers within a week and preparations underway for a corny promotional contest to celebrate our 100th.  Then came November.  It seems like we’ve plateaued a bit, but we might as well celebrate the excellent taste of 87 discerning individuals [including, the editor’s mother, sister, favorite aunt, and third grade P.E. teacher ~ ANA].

And now for a “pretty uninspired,” even “cringe worthy” week of giveaways …

week one prizes:

Three new DVDs for your viewing pleasure.

question:

If Thomas Friedman makes a pithy, nonsensical statement in a forest, why are people around to hear it?
