Koufax for Festivus!
I’m a day late to the blegging blog swarm for the folks who run the Koufaxes (seeing as how I’m reclusive and all*), but now that I’ve emerged from my cocoon I’m ready to throw my whole-hearted support into the effort. I can also throw a box of kleenex and some Tylenol in there too, if anybody’s interested.
Here’s the deal: the folks at Wampum, who run the Koufaxes every year on their own dime (and they don’t have a lot of dimes), are in dire need of a couple of new hard drives for their servers. As Mr. Hotty McNature Pants says:
More than any other single online event, the Koufax Awards builds a remarkable unity and camaraderie across the left-progressive-feminist blog world. MB and Eric and Dwight have enough things to sink their cash into, and there isn’t as much positivity on our side as there ought to be. They do important work for very little recognition. Let’s help them out.
So please, toss a few bucks in Wampum’s Amazon tip jar. You can also do the PayPal thingy from a link on the Wampum home page.
*Update for my loyal readers: Christmas has not yet come to the Socks household. My family seems to be experiencing its own tiny little Spanish Flu epidemic; on Christmas Eve two of us were too sick to even contemplate having a celebration the following day, and on the 25th my sister-in-law couldn’t get out of bed. We’re all starting to feel better though and will probably have our celebration in a day or two. For now our Christmas is in a sort of suspended animation: presents around the tree, the stockings hung by the chimney with care, yadeyadeyade, all waiting until we can stop blowing our noses and throwing up.

Aloha Dr. Ms. Socks and thanks for asking. Hawaii is in the throes of winter and the temperature dropped to almost 60 last night. I thought we had entered a new ice age.
Apart from that my lettuce and cherry tomatoes are producing like crazy and one of my watermelons is ready to pick. There is so much squash that most of it just goes to seed. The avocados and bananas are producing too. The only problem is mangoes. You can only eat so many and you have to pick the rest up before they rot.
Howzit in…..wherever you are?
