Well played, Mr. (and Mrs.) King.

In a classy move, Stephen King and wife Tabitha have apparently donated $13,000 (well, $12,999--they worried about the unlucky "13") to allow 150 soldiers from the Maine Army National Guard to travel home by bus from Camp Atterbury in Indiana to Maine for the holidays. The soldiers are due to ship out to Afghanistan in January, so I'm sure this trip home will really mean a lot to them.

With the books that King writes, I am surprised that he would not celebrate the number 13. :-)

Plus he's Stephen #&*$ King, worth a zillion dollars if he's worth a penny. What, he couldn't have rounded up? Donated an extra thousand for snacks?
