It is better to give than receive......................

I got a $1 check, note, and coffee cup from Abbzug and Leopold yesterday........and just to show you how god moves in mysterious ways...........the check was hand delivered to me in a catholic church..... now what are the chances I would be standing in a church (or that I would get a check from Abbzug and/or Leopold ) ?

Anyway, I got a check and a genuine "NPR look-a-like" coffee mug with the word SCIENCE magic markered over duct tape stuck to the mug. The note as you can see to the left makes reference to a dollar.

I thanked Abbzug for the dollar, cup and mug. But I said I recall there was talk about $2 and not one dollar in a previous blog posting. Abbzug seemed to have trouble remembering this exact amount.

So when I got home last night, I looked back on a December 29, 2007 blog note from Leopold and found the following :

"Therefore I applaud your efforts and will contribute toward your endeavors by pledging $2 toward a box of wine (does that cover an entire box?) for you."

As yall know, I am certainly not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.........and I do appreciate the money....................even at this late date...................but I don't think recipients of the Nobel peace prize have to shake the envelope and ask for the FULL amount of the prize money.
