I knew there was something I was forgetting. Monday was the sixth anniversary of the Hoystory founding.

Which is a good enough excuse for the intermittent banging of the tip jar. If you're a regular reader, and especially if you're a multi-millionaire, consider dropping a few bucks in the PayPal or Amazon Honor System links on the right sidebar. I do have to pay for the domain name and the Web hosting bill comes due in January.

For those of you who prefer to send gifts, my Amazon wish list can be found here.

Finally, don't forget that I get nominal referral fees for anything you buy at Amazon.com, as long as you click one of the Amazon links on the lower right first. It doesn't matter what you buy, and you don't have to buy what you click on, as long as you start here at Hoystory.
