I don’t have bunches of time today - it’s an all-Felber gathering here in New York on the occasion of the birthday of our mighty matriarch.

Things seem to be running alarmingly smoothly here on the site, thanks to Jennifer and to all you folks who clicked that PayPal button to help out. Verily, the readership hereon doth rock.

I’d been telling myself that when the crisis was past I’d delete that PayPal button. In retrospect it’s amazing how little I knew about myself. It’s stayin’ up. Another crisis could come about at any moment, after all. We’re not safe! High Alert! Comrade Snowball is still out there somewhere!

Seriously, consider it a “tip jar,” much like the ones you see on other blogs. I pledge to use the donations only to shore up the site, reward people like Jennifer, and purchase things that are in some way related to the health and well-being of Fanatical Apathy (”well-being” and “related to” are meant as defined by the F.A. Charter (2nd Revision), which is on display at our Archive Center, conveniently located in the Scott Base at Pram Point, Antarctica).

To keep things fair, though, I pledge to remove the tip jar as soon as the War on Terror is officially over. Meanwhile, and in all earnestness, a big thanks to you all. Now if you’ll excuse me, we Felbers have some serious cavorting to get to.
