Give and Learn

Hey, all. Thank you to all of you who came out to support the Globe this weekend — we had some raucous holiday fun. Special thanks to Filthy Santa, and to those who were immortalized on film with him…nothing says the holidays like a Sain Nick who looks like he’s been sleeping in a cardboard box filled with canned chicken soup…

Thanks also to our friends from Laughing Stock - Reed, Bryan, and Jason — for joining us. "And to you your wassail too!"

Hey — while we’re on the subject of holiday giving, I heard about a cool website on NPR this morning. Its www.freerice.com If you go to this site, you can work on building your vocabulary - it asks you to choose definitions of words from the list provided, and increases in difficulty when you answer correctly. So it’s great for anyone who is preparing for the SAT, GRE, LSAT, or just wants to be able to keep up with Jen and me when we play ABC… But the great thing is, each time you get a correct answer, the website’s advertisers donate 20 grains of rice through the United Nations to feed people in need. Painless, and instructive online giving…

Happy Holidays! - join us in January for Rainbow Annie is the Angel of Death!

  1. wow, that free rice is amazingly addictive. i can’t stand the thought of stopping when there is more rice to be given! plus, i would probably get hooked just on the vocabulary alone. call me crazy, but i love those tests.
