A funny thing happened when my husband recently ordered a watch case off of eBay. I got an email (since our joint PayPal account is in my name) from the seller, Bob McDonald, saying that he knew me from the Gadgeteer – Hey, it’s a small world after all. So I wrote back and said

I didn’t do the after Thanksgiving shopping thing this year. Actually I never do that… ;o) Instead I’ve planted myself in the basement in front of my computer and am hard at work on at least 4 reviews (1 down, 3 to go) for our annual Gadgeteer Christmas review bundle. Look for Judie’s and my
