| | + | Then, apart from a quick [[Etude]](190), I was swamped by Christmas and its preparations, including meeting airplanes and showing people the beautiful part of the world I live in (and if anyone wants my recipe for turkey (or chicken) stuffing……). |

| | + | I wrote a bit more than 11000 words of new information this month…nothing really compared to those who whip off a 20 word “insight” or two, or a couple of “great blocks”. (I played a bit of beach volleyball a decade or four ago and I know how it feels.) Still, what I try and give is good ol' information like they used to have in encyclopedias with pages. |
| | + | |
| | + | I also added or changed over 100 categories, fixed numerous links and generally kept my room tidy…not leaving a lot of red links lying around. |

| | + | I wish all Conservapedians a happy and satisfying 2009. |
