My friend Deepti, the fittest chick in the western hemisphere, sent me this postcard from her sojourn to the Galapagos:

It's my first postcard from a South American country! And it's from the island chain that has played a huge part in our understanding of evolution. Yay Darwin! Yay Galapagos Islands! Yay Deepti!
As cool as that postcard is, here's something that is even rarer, it's swag from a member of my extended family:
(close up of the quilt in question)
It's a lap quilt my Aunt Gail in Michigan made for us. It's a very beautiful quilt and Gail is a true fiber artist. She also sent us a Christmas hanging thingy that we love but we only display it during the holidays, so this new quilt she made for us is pretty keen because we can use/display it year around. Thanks again for the great quilt Gail!
And thank all of you folks who have sent me swag in the past, you all rock!
