Holiday Fly
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I just received an E-Mail from Father Time. My normal Thanksgiving tradition (and Pagan Christmas, for that matter) tradition is to spend the evening with Father Time and family. One part of the E-Mail that's actually acceptable to post follows:
This is going to be an interesting Thanksgiving. It will be the first real holiday that I'll spend in my new digs - Memorial Day, Labor Day, and "holidays" of that sort don't count.
I had an invitation from Mormon Buddha, who drove to Los Angeles with his wife, son, and bun in the oven to spend the holiday with family there. I've just come off of a particularly long stretch of days at work, and I ended up declining the invitation because I don't feel like spending six or eight hours of my few days off driving to and from Los Angeles just to have folks to spend time with.
As for my menu, I'll probably do what I do whenever I have enough time or energy to cook: I'll make both Hamburger Helper and countertop-grilled chicken. I have plenty of MRE's, though none of them contain turkey and stuffing. I'm not sure if I'll throw much else into the mix; I'm not exactly a culinary wizard.
As for my Thanksgiving activities, I'll probably do some reading (I'd like to finish From Russia with Love by Ian Fleming and start something else), play a couple of X-Box games, and maybe watch Gladiator. I'll also make a few phone calls: primarily to family, but also to Father Time, per his request. I may watch the entire first season of Sports Night, but seeing as how I'm just about to complete watching the entire run (which I tend to do every few weeks), that one's a long shot.
Pagan Christmas (which is what I'm going to start calling it on the blog) is the next time I'll have an appreciable amount of time off. I had intended to go to Orkney and Sussex, but my friends in Orkney won't be there, so I've pretty much decided to delay my trip. I have reason to believe that I may have a good occasion for it in February or March of 2007. What this all means is that I'll probably wind up back in the vicinity of Hometown during Pagan Christmas, though I don't plan on actually celebrating Pagan Christmas. Instead, I'll probably try to use the time off to see friends, and spend the actual couple of days of Pagan Christmas in isolation. Don't worry, loyal readers, for blogging will likely continue during that time.
I have some things to accomplish today, not the least of which is seeing Casino Royale (and possibly Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan). More tonight.
What's up in [Zoo Station] for Thanksgiving? Does the boss spring for turkey and dressing MRE's? Certainly hope you get something besides the same old stuff.
