FYI: AME/Mailing Holiday Schedule – 2021

The ’21 Holiday Schedule will be slightly different than in the past.We will have one December mailing (Dec 13), and then will pick up again in January (3, 10, or 17 – TBA).  Much of our very large staff will be off then :-), but I will be around and checking e-mails, as needed.

 Krazy Pic 1  No question that this is secure!  I see a small problem, however.

Krazy Pic 2  There’s no arguing this.  But I wonder, if it’s say, sugar-free?

Cartoon of the Week  Good old Frank & Ernie! Never quite as offbeat as Far Side or Herman, but still always a little different.  And almost always FUNNY, too.  Here’s a blast from the past, containing two samples of their typical word-play humor.

Last Call – ’21 Brain Teasers We set a record!! With the extra week of Mailings (see AME Schedule Above), we’re now up to 18 BTs and 5 Bonuses!  I think both of those totals are records!  So surely at least one will appeal to you! Dive in and join the fun!

Last Call?! – Books  Special Christmas pricing runs through the end of 2021, but the window for getting things in time for Christmas giving is rapidly narrowing!  I have updated the usual Christmas promotions to include the lastest Spitballs book, and some new pricing and purchase options!!  Check out the updated 10-15-25 Christmas Simplicity information, and visit the next link if you need reminders of what the available books look like, along with Amazon descriptions.  Don’t miss your chance!  Give a book or two for Christmas!

December Birthdays Here is the list of known subscribers’ birthdays in December. Do you have a December birthday we don’t know about?  Please feel free to update us.

Magical Technology Memory Tour  Memories of my grandfather’s reluctant warming to television caused me to think back through all the technological changes in my own life.  It was a fun trip, and naturally provoked some food for thought.  This column first appeared (in the Springfield News Leader and here), in May 2020.
