I have a few disclaimers, first. 1. I am a cooker. So, I can cook things. From ingredients. Which, you know, is cheaper (by a... I know, right?

Junk mail. Advertisements. Old letters. Magazine articles. 2. Sleeping. I’m actually a much more productive writer in my dreams. Bummer. 3. Sadness. Some small but difficult things have happened over the past three months (which we’ll talk about later), and I have found it... Y’all know I’m all about the bribes. There’s no point in trying to hide that. So here are my fifteen rewards – I’ll print them, fold them, maybe even envelope them and then cash one in for each of the fifteen _____ I need to _____.
