That Time of the Year

Last summer or early last fall (I'm too lazy to look which at the moment), I had a week-long fundraising effort here at Confederate Yankee, where readers were kind enough to provide me with enough funds to buy a laptop to replace my aging and dying Dell 733R from which I'd been researching and writing. I was humbled and awed at your outpouring of support.

This year, I'll not be needing any new equipment, and I do't have any particular dire needs that the Lord won't take care of for me. He's granted me everything I need and most of what I want, including something else my wife and I have been wanting for a long time:

As I said, the important things are taken care of.

That said, I'd still like to ask my readers for a couple of bucks, if they can spare it.

I promise I'll put it to good use. Thanks.

Looks like the equipment you have is working pretty good!

Wishing you and your wife and new baby all the best!

5 Congrats!

Your next ten-fifteen years are the pinnacle of the human existence in my experience and the greatest test of being a Man. Savor this time, gird yourself for the tests that are to come.

Right now we're thanking the Gods for Zofran. (Write it down! Ask for it by name!)
