As we approach yet another goddamn holiday season, it's too easy to let the BAH HUMBUG that lives inside each and every one of us rule. I myself live that way most of the time, but now that I'm old and wise, I believe in giving back to the youngsters, so they can take care of me when I'm old and REALLY crotchety.
To that end, I remind of you a damn fine charity: http://www.childsplaycharity.org/
This charity was formed by the guys at Penny Arcade (my heroes) and does good work - video games and toys for sick and even dying kids at major hospitals across the country (and WORLD now) - including two in our area.
So, while we enjoy the onset of cold that turns our blood to warlust, feel free to give a kid the gift of some bloodthirsty game to take their lives off the fact that they are stuck in a hospital, which, frankly, sucks no matter WHAT age you are.
Amen.
