I set this as free on my Patreon last week but I suppose sometimes folks don't want to go there, which I get. So here it is, rolled over to my site. It's about enjoying the moment. Or maybe enjoying the moment again?

Nothing like a dramatic header, eh?
The Kickstarter for my little project of Holiday Hope closes tonight at 6:00 PT! It's been a lot of fun so far, and there's still time to get in on it...gotta act fast, though (the used car salesman says!)
