Bits and Bobs

We're going to be slowing down for the holidays (until Monday or so)- Gotta's got a pain today and tomorrow she's headed off for some well deserved vaca time. I'm not going anywhere, but I just might try and enjoy the season a bit. I'll still be posting (with Gotta chiming in 'cause you know she won't be able to stay away) but it's going to be light. We all need to rest up for the inauguration frenzy.

There are some lovely pics here of Obama and his sister scattering their grandmothers' ashes after her memorial service.

Taegan brought my attention to the book linked above and it looks really neat. I've also added it to the sidebar linkage.

Just published: President Obama: A Collection of Newspaper Front Pages is a required addition to any political junkie's library. I just received my copy and spent over an hour looking at how various newspapers around the country portrayed Barack Obama's historic victory.

And don't forget, if you need any last minute gifts fast and wrapping free, there's always Amazon gift cards!
