(More Than) 88 Words to Say Thank You


A blog reader has surprised me AGAIN today, with a gift worthy of Royalty. This spectacular pen, which I jokingly suggested in an earlier post, would make a fine birthday gift for yours truly, well, not ten minutes ago, the FexEx man rapped upon my door, and there wedged between the door and the screen I happened upon a box containing a box containing a box containing a pen. Very exactly like this one here. 


I think it's definitely safe to say, that this here pen is mightier than a sword. And also, so is a MacBook. Which makes me ARMED & DANGEROUS. Watch out wollode, here I come. 


And Juni, you spoil me. Thank you, my anonymous friend and benefactor.
