The Great Post-Abortion Debate

This is not about what the title might suggest.

I'm talking about the 20 or so unfinished & unpublished posts still in "draft" stage on Lem's blog. They are invisible to most readers. Some of them are accidental -- a few errant keystrokes led to an unwanted brain child -- the one from Freeman Hunt for example is just a title (titular posts is my tag for that). Others appear quite well along in development -- those from Pastafarian and Michael Haz, and Trooper York for example. There's even one from Darcy. Some of these authors are no longer contributors to Lem's blog. What should become of them?  Of course it's Lems decision, but I wish they'd stop by here and say hello. I'd like to wish them all Happy New Year.

The Harpoon*

The Harpoon has become a favorite cocktail around our house. Of course we modified it, substituting gin for vodka:

(double this for two)

1½ oz gin
½ oz orange liqueur
¼ oz lime juice
enough cranberry juice to color

Mix and shake over ice.  Pour into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of lime.

The Harpoon is related to the Maggie, but less limey. Also, the Maggie looks different, lacking the socialist red hue.
