How well do I know the readers of this blog? I KNOW yinz would want a “got sauerkraut” t-shirt. So I found one. Just click on the pic of it above and you can order it in one of 24 different size/color combinations! No need to thank me.
On to the real purpose of Sauerkraut Sundays… As I go through the week, I use Twitterto send out little updates and links. I realize that I do this quite a bit and that not all of you use Twitter, so with that in mind I’d like to take Sunday to do sort of a week in review. I’ve selected the most useful of my tweets from the last week and placed them in to the categories that I use in this blog.
