The Big Feed '05
Yes, 'tis once again time for that marvelous Thanksgiving thing.
Am sitting at a desk in Midland, typing away -- while alternately sneezing and blowing my nose from a cold I seem to have succumbed to this morning (a special gift that I suspect was donated to me by a certain Tali person).
Because of my general state of ugh-ness, I'm not sure a) how I'm going to get all the work done that's due in the next two days; and b) how I'm going to be able to make a big pig of myself at dinner tomorrow. I feel like ass. Staying out until late on thursday night (or rather, friday morning) wasn't likely a very good idea, either.
One day, I will remember that I'm old, and such behaviour is unseemly.
If all goes well, I should be about 70 years old at the time. (Query: why are people in such a rush to behave like they're old? It's folly -- you'll just sit down when you're 60 or so, and wonder where the hell your youth went.)
So before my fellow Canadians sit down for an enormous meal with friends and family (or in some cases, alone with a bottle of wine and take-away), I would like to wish them good eating and a happy long weekend. And pray for a short winter...
Or many visits to warmer climes.

I am SO SO sorry! :(
Can you ever forgive me?
I mean..really..if you were so concerned you shouldn't have tried ot kiss me so many times. You knew I would have to give in to your charms eventually (or the charms of your chocolate mousse).
