Carbon offsets! Just what I always wanted!
I’ve been besieged at work with what seems like a million different “opportunities” for donating to someone’s pet charity of choice this holiday season. However, when I give, I like to give to organizations that I have a personal connection to or that support initiatives that are important to me personally. Donating toys for kids, while important, just doesn’t resonate with me, given my ZPG tendencies and lack of children.

Had a great party at A & J’s— the pepperoni rolls were a hit, and it was great to see folks I haven’t seen forever. Also, it was dogtastic, which is never a bad thing.

~ Wallace Stevens, from Six Significant LandscapesRationalists, wearing square hats,
Think, in square rooms,
Looking at the floor,
Looking at the ceiling.
They confine themselves
To right-angled triangles.
If they tried rhomboids,
Cones, waving lines, ellipses —
As, for example, the ellipse of the half-moon —
Rationalists would wear sombreros.
