I know there are a lot of you on Gather that like to participate in sweepstakes. Most of the time I forget to enter them at all, even the ones that I wouldn't mind winning, but in cleaning out my . . .

The first time I heard a male howler monkey I could've sworn I was back in my bedroom listening to trucks rumbling down the freeway five miles away. Whether you are up close or far off, . . .

I think I forgot to kiss my Frog Prince.
