Paddington Bear is 50 years old this year. The first book was published in October 1958, so I'm not sure why celebrations are starting now, but no matter. One of the UK radio stations is putting 50 Paddington Bear toys in railway stations, and whoever finds them can take them home. The finders are asked to call the radio station to let them know where the bears were found. I have one already, so no going to the UK for me, although I will eventually.
I have to admit, I prefer honey to marmalade. Always have.
My sister has always had a particular fondness for Ted. E. Bear. It must be a Polacek women thing - bears.
Some randomness:
I found a great giveaway site: freecycle.org. You can post things you want to give away or post a message about things you're looking for.
Speaking of free, here's another free thing you can read by Neil Gaiman - the first Sandman story. Please note that the last two pages are apparently backwards.
I've become addicted to these. The fruit ones are really good.

I LOVE Freecycle! It's a great way to reduce and reuse instead of always buying things new. I've gotten some great stuff, and managed to get rid of some things that were just gathering dust. At least I know someone else is getting some good use out of it. And people will take just about anything on there, from plastic bags to empty containers to clothes. Someone will find a good use for the stuff that I'd probably just throw in the trash or recycle.
