Package
Kevin Barrett sent me a very nice birthday care package containing some vegan chocolate bars of a brand called Tropical Source. They're amazingly good -- not the best chocolate I've ever had, but very respectable, and you certainly wouldn't know they were vegan.
He also included a Howard Zinn CD, an impressive multi-color pen which even includes a PDA stylus and a mechanical pencil, and a copy of A Quarter Century of Unix. (Too bad I didn't have that last week -- I could have gotten it autographed at ALS.) Thanks, Kevin!
