On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me . . .



Three French Pens



Two Turtle Doves



And a Partridge in a Pear Tree.

    You certainly know how to bump your site counter. Can't wait for tomorrow and the next and... MP and Clumber have worthy competition.

    Thanks 'piskie. The truth is, I'm doing this as a creative little diversion for myself while I'm sweating over my dissertation. I don't know what it means to 'bump up your site counter.' Do I win something if it gets to a certain number? I just blew out my hair dryer this morning and have to get another one. If I make a certain number, will I win a new hair dryer? I don't need another toaster or electric blanket. Besides, the rumor is that you get one of those when you 'recruit' someone to be LGBT. I've never done that, either, so I had to buy my own toaster and electric blanket.

    Gosh, the world is so complicated!

    This is truly delightful, Elizabeth. I keep wondering what you'll come up with next.

    Continued good wishes on finishing the blasted dissertation.

    I want that pen ad in a poster. Art.com, here I come...

    Pseudopiskie's site counter comment and your reply calls to mind a burning question a friend of mine had concerning the World Bank:

    "If a small impoverished third world country opens a checking account with the World Bank, does it get a free toaster?"
