I've learned a tremendous amount from the Friday Fun Facts, as I'm sure many of you have, as well. Thanks so much to all of you who've commented on my FFF posts over the last two years, both here and on Compuserve, Facebook, and Twitter. I appreciate that very much.
And last but definitely not least, MANY thanks to Diana Gabaldon, for putting all these fascinating little bits in the books in the first place!
Congratulations to Ed.
