It’s a day late, people, but I say it with just as much sincerity…
Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful for each one of you, regardless of whether I communicate with you, know your name, or even am aware you read this material.
This is Ye Olde Maryland blog, from my typical holiday headquarters for family fun and excitement. Comedy aside, it is nice to be here and see familiar faces; plus the food, oh yes, the food.
Sadly, I’ve come to realize I am susceptible to something. Yes, it’s become apparent that my soul is in jeopardy over (you’ll laugh, but I don’t mind) these rich, chocolate, marshmallow brownies that my grandmother makes. When they are around, I become a slave to their demands that they be granted access to my throat and esophagus. It’s a shame really, yes; however, I am man enough to admit my mortal flaws.
But not man enough to fix that problem. No, I believe that problem may be around for quite a while.
Since it is Black Friday, clearly I had to participate in the unruly mobs that threatened American life and limb this morning. The Gap was open at 5 am this morning – ridiculous. I did find a scarf and sweater there worth swapping cash for. Same at Banana Republic (if you purposely ignore the regular prices there, it’s easy to fool yourself into thinking you’re about to buy something at retail), but ‘twas a scarf and pants I discovered thereabouts.
Night is approaching, so is Virginia Tech. After two days of hearing the same stories tediously retold, it’ll be pleasant to return to Tech for some monotonous lecturing and endless homework. Oh wait…
