In 20+ exchanges I've never gotten missed. That is the beauty of a community that loves sending gifts to Internet strangers. (I know the system's not infallible, because people are people. That's why I rematch when I can.)

But sometimes life interferes, and schedules get unexpectedly busy. And then out of the blue, a hero shows up.

You, impetusofadream, are a hero. For making time in your busy schedule to make, not purchase but MAKE, and send me the man they call Jayne.

And then to top him off with homemade chocolate chip - toffee - potato chip cookies! Seriously impressive. Today is a great day to be me.

And as if that weren't enough, I've been wanting Zombie Dice since I saw it on Tabletop, and now I own a copy with your endorsement that it's best learned at a bar at a Comic-Con afterparty.

I hope your 2016 is as amazing as this gift is to me. And I hope all your giftors are as dedicated as you.

Blessings abound!
