Been away for a few days. But not without doing any graphing. That would be unheard of here. This year I decided that instead of giving out cards, I was going to make one, and send it via e-mail, and save the $$$ and make a donation to our local Humane Society.  With the cost of postage, and cost of cards, even when I make them myself, it adds up. And it's not that people aren't worth it, nor is it that I can't afford it, but there are so many places in desperate need of help, and I thought this was more within the Christmas spirit.

From the Humane Society:

This makes it all worth while, and makes you realise you did the right thing.
