As you know I’m not real big on the give away thing. I just don’t have it in me to ask someone tweet, retweet, post, follow, add a button, blah, blah, blah and then tally up points.

HOWEVER, I was sent a package to pass along to my readers. Here’s what the promotion is about (And yes, there is a “for you” part to this.):
