Or you can have free milk and cookies at Pilot Books while listening to two short stories by me. Milk & cookies at 6:30 p.m.; readings at 7:30 p.m. Just sayin'. :)

Or you could do any of the really fun things in Fremont.

Most stores - including Theo's Chocolate Factory - are giving a lot of their proceeds from TODAY - Thursday Dec 9 - sales to the B.F. Day School After School Programs.

A school that has about 40 percent homeless kids and is one of the few ethnically diverse public schools north of the Ship Canal.

Put your money where your mouth is.

Or maybe just put a cookie where your mouth is.
