Why tip?  

Sometimes, the money's there.

Sometimes, not so much.

I understand all of that, twice over. 

You know what? I enjoy giving you free content. It's yours, for free. All I ask is, hey, if you have an extra buck or two...maybe think of throwing them my way. I wouldn't mind it at all, and I'll even thank you, right now, publicly, ahead of time.

Think of it as your chance to be a de Medici. A patron of the arts. Appreciated. Fabulous.

Mea Culpa for Desperate Times: I hate advertising, I really do. I don't know what I was thinking. I was convinced by a reader that I could make money off of my web site with ads. I took down my Google Ads and I apologize to my readers for putting them up. I'd like this to be an ad-free user-supported site. (Ad-free...except for my own ads. Heh.) We should all be able to go somewhere and not be bombarded by ads. I hope to keep them off my site, unless I get desperate and this doesn't work.

Do the Deed: It's easy. Click below, and use PayPal or Google Checkout.

Think of it as buying me a cup of great hot chocolate.
