A double batch of fleur de sels caramels has been wrapped and is ready to go! Price to you? Totally free. Not even postage, Beloveds. Is anyone interested? Claim your own free packet by leaving a comment in this post, noting either something good in your life or which Bush Cabinet Member would you like to have put through the wood chipper. Or compose a short Haiku for Maddie Allbright. For those darling people who don't like sticky delicious handmade caramels or can't eat them, they do make excellent bribes to people you wish to rule for five minutes at a time. Try to govern your tiny nation wisely. I will ship them out until they are gone! Good Luck! You guys in Tuku and Great Britain? I am intrigued! Say hello!

My dad's hands are trembling more than ever; Mom once again let yet another paternally inheritable health fact drop that some day my hands will also be quaking as violently. I think if you boil us down, our family is pretty mechanically adept. We like the things our hands create. Am I going to have to say goodbye to that? (Note to self: look into the possibility of knitting with toes and peanut butter as a consumable adhesive.) Tattoo number three is officially in the works. Will get it completed and installed before the next birthday. Anyone know a good tattoo artist in the Bay...
