We've been busy here at Blog Central, thanks to our readers. We've been writing and bundling checks to our six charities from Buck-a-Hit Day last week. If you gave during that fundraising event, your money is now in the mail to the charity or charities you selected. Since all the recipients are local, the funds should be there before year-end, perhaps with a day or two to spare. Thanks again to everyone who participated.

We're still waiting to hear from Info/Clackistani about which charity he would like to receive a $250 gift; he gets to call that shot for winning the comment contest on fund drive day. Meanwhile, we'd better take a break from licking envelopes -- we don't want to end up like George Costanza's fiancee.
