Five Days Left Until the "Rear Echelon" Blogathon

WordGirl and I are scurrying about securing new and more potent sources of caffeine in anticipation of this Saturday's endurance feat: 24 hrs of rock-solid blogging to benefit the Armed Forces Relief Trust.

Why not hit the tip jar at right and prime the pump? All proceeds go to benefit this worthy charity, which fuels the relief efforts of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Marines and directly benefits the young men and women wearing the uniform of our country.

You'll be glad you did, and for every $25 you give, you get to call the shots on a post on any topic (well, any topic you could see printed in a public newspaper) you'd like to see WordGirl or I post on. If you want WordGirl to pen an encomium to the slapstick stylings of Moe Howard, now's your chance.

Please make plans to check in with us throughout the day this Saturday, July 2nd, beginning at midnight Saturday and continuing until midnight Sunday. There'll be a plethora of posts, some of which will no doubt make no sense whatsoever except to workers on the graveyard shift or insomniacs.

More to come.
