The Clown is Down
Hey look who made the lens of the Associated Press today and she braved the rain for her second Macy's parade...it's our loveable clown.
We didn't watch the parade this morning...we had lots of errands to run before the girls go away for the weekend.
I hope everyone in the States is having a great day. I talked to my parents (twice) and my brother as well, and my best friend Dave, whose Dad passed away on Thanksgiving two years ago...this day hits him especially hard. He and his wife sent me a belated birthday present. I got it today- he sent me 3 CDs (some of the titles that were stolen out of my car a few years ago in the great CD loss of 2003). So I opened up my mail to find Springsteen's "Darkness on the Edge of Town", The Police's "Ghost in the Machine", and the Stones "Exile on Main Street". It was like I got to celebrate my birthday all over again!
I'm not looking forward to playing bachelor this weekend, but I am looking forward to getting a chance to sleep in Saturday! Friday night I'm heading into town to hear Shell's cousin's band play a gig so it'll be a late night for me.
We managed to have some turkey stew pies tonight for supper so I didn't feel totally left out of my nation's celebration. These are really great with stuffing on top...yum.
I think the triptofan (sp?) from the turkey and my cough meds are starting to kick in because I'm really sleepy now.

Did somebody say Springsteen? Awww, sheee--yit, now I've got to go change out of this preppie garb, crank up those tunes, get up on that hill, confront myself, think about my fellow man, face the beauty of the grit, yeah...I've got to turn out the lights and feel the fear of that which I cannot see...
But we both know, before the night is through, I'll end up dancing on my coffeetable, singin' 'bout ...
glory days
You have to have turkey of some kind when it's Thanksgiving in the country you're from. I always try to have a turkey sandwich on Canadian Thanksgiving.
