HAPPY THANKSGIVING

My November giveaway is my Holiday gift to everyone. I am doing it in November so you will have time to shop. From 12:01 AM (eastern) on Monday, November 1, 2009 until 11:59 PM (eastern) on Sunday November 15, 2009 if you leave a comment (with email) under the HAPPY THANKSGIVING post you will be entered into a drawing for a $50.00 gift certificate to http://www.amazon.com/ On Monday, November 16, 2009 I will select a random comment to win the certificate. Just my little way of saying Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.

OUT OF THE LOOP

I have been sidelined with the flu. Not H1N1 but the regular seasonal flu. I could hardly get out of bed much less post to the blog.

In the next day or two I will post the details of my November giveaway. So come back and enter.

AND THE WINNER IS

Using Random.org the magic number is 9. The name associated with number 9 is mverno. I have emailed mverno and as soon as I hear back I will mail the book.

I only had 57 enter this month's contest. Last month when I gave away the gift certificate I had 264 enter. So its clear that you, my readers, prefer gift certificates. In the future I will try to always give gift certificates.
