Winner of the Send Me Something™ contest!

For those of you participating in or following our Send Me Something™ contest, we have a winner!

The winner was chosen at random from the nine comments we received. I wrote each author's name on a piece of paper, folded it up and dropped them into a cigar box. I shook it vigorously and selected one at random while blindfolded and hanging upside down.

And now that the UN elections observers validated our process and results we are pleased to announce that we have a winner.

The winner is.... Nathan Driver!

Thanks to everyone who participated, and we'll try to bring more contests this way shortly. Nathan: please contact Erica (redrabbit [at] gmail [dot] com) with the address you'd like us to send your Something to!

Send Me Something™

I just discovered Send Me Something, which is a local business that... sends you something.

While the grab bag idea has been around for a while, I love the idea of being able to send someone a present that would be a surprise to you both. You could certainly use Send Me Something for your own little pick-me-up, I think it works much better as a random act of kindness for someone else.

So! Let's throw some support their way! Leave me a comment here about something small that makes you happy. In about a week I'll let Dan pick a comment and we'll send that person a free Send Me Something package.

P.S. You do not have to be in or around Cincinnati to win this prize.
