Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! (Or Thursday, if you’re so inclined!)

We didn’t go anywhere or invite anyone in this year for a change — my sister’s at her mother-in-law’s — and instead my parents and I enjoyed a surprisingly quite nice Thanksgiving dinner at a local restaurant. And I’m spending the rest of the evening watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. Just like the Pilgrims!

Wishing you and yours all the very best, even if it is just a Thursday. Maybe especially if it’s just a Thursday. You know what Arthur Dent always said about those.

Training sessions

Today was more comics, more writing, very little work e-mail, and rounded out with an episode of Quantum Leap and tonight Strangers on a Train. The latter is great mostly for Robert Walker’s performance…and for this amazing climactic scene. I can’t in good conscience recommend you watch the clip if you haven’t seen the movie, but I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s one of the most amazing and outlandish things I’ve ever seen. It’s Hitchcock at his most entertainingly insane.

Anyway, that was…what was it, Wednesday? I mean, I also went to the bank, having been reimbursed for my Maryland trip, and I finally got gas for my car, now that there are no more rationing and day-long lines. But I spent most of the day writing, even if I didn’t write a whole lot.

I’m just glad I wasn’t on the Long Island Railroad tonight.
