"The abnegation of reason is not the evidence of faith, but the confession of despair."

- J.B. Lightfoot
Blog Free Associate for Free Stuff

Long time blog-friend Scott Roche of Spiritual Tramp is offering to give away a copy his YA scifi novel Ginny Dare: Crimson Sands * to the winner of a competition/drawing here on Thinklings. Here's how this will work:

I am resurrecting the idea behind one of our most heavily commented posts from back in the day: Blog-free Association post. It's very simple; I am going to seed the comments thread with a single word. Feel free to comment with whatever word my word brings to your mind. Then the next person can free-associate off of your word. **

We'll do a drawing in one week to see who wins the book. The drawing will be random but weighted based on how many comments each person leaves.

* You can read the first couple of chapters of Scott's book online, here

** Yes, this is me shamelessly jonesing for a very large comments count.

Free Europe


Sorry, I know that's two words. But that's what comes to mind, and "free" by itself wouldn't make sense as to what it has to do with Radio. and besides, I have precedent. Bill, put "feliz navidad" above. That's two words. So here it is again.

"Free Europe"
