Evonne, Christina and all - I am excited by the possibilities and absolutely want to collaborate.

This weekend I had my first introduction to Webkinz - the real life stuffed animals are sold for $15. After entering the animal's personal ID # online, one is introduced to its online "avitar" and the elaborate alternate-reality world of Webkinz - my goodness!!
