About once a quarter, I go out to the sites I read reguarly, look for tip jars, and drop a few dollars in. It’s my way of saying, “Hey, the laborer is worth his wage.” Or something like that.<\/p>\n
And … well … I just couldn’t stand it. I mean, what if someone else wants to do the same thing? How can I rob others of that ability to self-express? Oh, the humanity!<\/p>\n
So now I have am Amazon tip jar. I don’t expect it to see much (if any) action, but, well, what the heck?<\/p>\n
It’s off in the side-bar, modestly buried there a page-down or two. If you’re a regular reader, you might never see it.<\/p>\n
Of course, if you really <\/i>love me, you can hit my wish list (in the Earthly Desires entry in the sidebar). (Gee, that makes the tip jar seem positively modest in comparison, doesn’t it?)<\/p>\n
Okay, enough self-aggrandizing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
