donutage (Bill Cole)Happy birthdays to L. Frank Baum (b. 5/15/1856), Katherine Ann Porter (b. 1890), & Brian Eno (b. 1948)!
I wonder what would happen if the three of them walked into a bar.

βI have nothing against Saturnalia, it belongs to this season of the year: but how do we get so confused about the true meaning of even our simplest-appearing pastimes?β
