Wild Cards – Dec 14, 2015

Cartoon(s) of the Week – Letters to Santa!  Among Calvin (& Hobbes)’s other talents, he was a prodigious writer of letters to Santa! Since it’s about that time, here are THREE of the them, from which we can learn how it is (or isn’t?) done! See CalvinLetters.

Krazy Pic Is this really easier than adopting? 🙂  See KrPic15-33.

Punny Math & Science Humor    If you like any combo of humor, puns, math and/or science, you’ll like these TWO offerings. (The first one was shared by subscriber Bobbi Kneeshaw – thanks!)   Not quite Krazy Pics, not quite cartoons, but I think you’ll like them!  To see them both, click ScienceMathPuns.  

December Brain Teasers  Only two weeks of Brain Teasers this month, but a little extra to work on them.  Here are the first 4 for this month, along with another BONUS.  The first 2 of these are easier versions of a couple of old classics – don’t skip them.  Have fun (and check out the new look on a couple of these)!!  See DecBTs.

2016 Calendars – See All Pictures!  As promised in the Newsletter, you can now view ALL 4 AfterMath calendars available, as well as ALL PICTURES on each calendar!  To see these, visit 2016Calendars.  To see Pricing/Ordering information (as well as each Calendar Cover again), see CalendarPricing.  Mix/match more than one calendar and save money – and all shipping is FREE!  Calendars can be delivered in time for Christmas if I get your order on/before Friday 12/18.

Gumball Follow Up!  The ‘real world’ Gumball problem of last month lives on!  I have wonderful reactions & responses to that problem, especially from the News-Leader column!  The responses necessitated a follow-up column, due to appear in today’s paper (Dec 14).  To see the discussion of responses, see GumballResponses.  (To visit the original column & problem, see GumballWrapping.)

December Weekly Mailings Reminder  In case you missed the update “Newsletter” mailing a week or so ago (it came in mid-week), please be reminded of the altered mailing schedule for December.  There was no Weekly Photo Sharing last week (did you miss it? :-)), and there will NOT be a mailing on Dec.28.  To read or re-read the newsletter, visit  December Newsletter.
