So, finally, I'm all digital and bookish and everything.

I've done it--I've taken that last step into the early twenty-first century--I've downloaded an audiobook.  (Vital Friends from NetLibrary.)  Now, I freely admit, I'm a codger.  A curmudgeon.  An old gaffer.  And I like stuff I can carry around and handle (and lose and break, of course).  Books, the print-on-paper kind.  Radios with dials.  Tapes.  CDs.  Better yet, LPs!  But--this is pretty neat.  Figuratively and literally.  I'm listening at my computer and thinking, You know, it might not be so bad to have one of those little MP3 players.

So ... I guess I can jump into the raffle, yes?
