A few folks have e-mailed lately asking about the Perspectives series, specifically, how to find Babs’ portion of the stories.

Well, she e-mailed me the other day to say that she’s leaving the Intarwebz altogether, so I have taken the liberty of putting her posts on a new blog, and updating the Perspectives links over in the Greatest Hits.

If you haven’t read the Perspectives series, give ‘em a read. You’re in for a treat.

And if I can twist the arm awaken the muse of another prominent blogger while I’m at Blogorado this weekend, we may soon see a third installment.

Stay tuned!

Well, despite Amazon (who sucks, by the way) apparently sending the wig I ordered by Pony Express, resulting in it being still somewhere in transit between their distribution center and my house, we still managed to procure a decent wig (although not the really cool, not to mention expensive, one I ordered), the Munchkin still managed to dress up like her hero for Halloween.

Is it any wonder she cleaned up on candy?
