Thanks!

After 2 1/2 months on the road, I finally returned to Rhode Island earlier this week. And lo and behold, what do I find but some lovely gifts from a couple of readers. Many thanks to our good friend Pseudonym for the copies of Fargo and Birth of a Nation, as well as Jefferson Cowie’s new book The Great Exception, which is in my office. And equally many thanks to Patricia for the great beer glasses (one of which is filled with a Deschutes Mirror Pond Ale, albeit less filled than when I took the picture), the copy of Kore-eda’s wonderful Still Walking and the Bartok. The three movies should make quite a triple feature!

As always, this is a labor of love for us outside of the beer money the ads collect. So I think I speak for all of us when readers decide that if they are going to waste money, they might as well give it to us, whether to me or for SEK’s OLDMAN CATs or whoever.

Should any of you have more random cash laying around burning a whole in your pocket, you can buy anything off our wish lists you can find when you click on our names at the top of the blog, though mine is here.
