| The traditional Thanksgiving feast |
I am currently inside, having a piece of Pumpkin Chiffon Pie. Tonight I relax, while the snow falls. Tomorrow I wake up and start clearing the driveway. Here are my current random thoughts...
* Watching Death By Lightning on Netflix. I read the book that the show was based on (Destiny of the Republic, by Candice Millard. It's a fascinating story- James A. Garfield may by the greatest "What if?" President in the history of the US. Just being a great man does not automatically make someone a great President (for example...), but I think Garfield could have been a boon for the country if he had lived. It's also a period of US history I don't know that much about (after the Civil War, before President Teddy Roosevelt)
* Basketball is underway- and Oklahoma looks damn near unstoppable. The best record in the NBA, their second-best player hasn't been on the floor yet... and right now, they'd have two of the top 10 NBA draft picks next year.
* Trying to decide what retrospective I will do next year. If it's music, I'm thinking Led Zeppelin. My other thought is to do a TV retrospective on the show Taskmaster, which has become my favorite comedy show
* It is Thanksgiving, and there's a lot I am thankful for. Friends, family, loved ones. Thank you, everyone who reads this blog. There are problems in the world- there are always problems in the world- but the universe is more good than bad, and I thank you all for sharing your time, hearts, and minds with me.
Peace to all of you.
