…is the generosity of many of my readers in donating to this blog, either in a single donation or a monthly recurring one. So here’s a huge “thank you!!” to all of you. It’s a cliche, but words can’t adequately express how deeply appreciative I am. You help make this blog possible.

And now a pivot to another reminder: when you order from Amazon, please use the neo portal. I know some of you have quarrels with Amazon but many nevertheless use it for various reasons, so it helps to know that if you use this blog (the ad widgets on the right sidebar on desktops or laptops, or at the bottom of the blog on cellphones, or the link you can find here) to click through and order, I get a small but meaningful cut.

Thanks again to my wonderful readers.
