TURKEY RECAP & A LOOK AHEAD



In the blog entry
preceding this one I mentioned that getting into the Thanksgiving
spirit was a tough go this year.  Even the initiative to do the
basic shopping for the meal came pretty late.  It would be safe to
say that until just about completing that blog post, I'd had almost no
sense of Thanksgiving spirit this year.



On Wednesday evening things began to change.

THANKSGIVING EVE



It took longer than usual this year.  I
had almost no sense of holiday spirit, or any sort of anticipation or
eagerness to do Thanskgiving.  Usually I love to do the cooking,
the prep work, and get pretty excited in advance of Turkey Thursday.



Not so this year.

A YEAR FROM NOW                      

BLOG OFFICIALITY



Speaking on the phone with a friend this afternoon, I made a
prediction. A political one.  Right here, right now, November of
2004, you heard it first.  From me.  Remember this.  That's what I said. 



Nope, he said in response, it isn't official yet.  Not until you blog it.

Accord Breakdown Log: October 25, 2003

6:00 PM Driving in, listening to 6PM news on the radio.

6:01 PM Hear funny clicking then chopping noise in car.

6:02 PM uh oh, car trouble.

6:03 PM See blog for details of critical moments

6:04 PM Take deep breath, feel fortunate to be in one piece.

6:05 PM Call AAA to report accident and have them arrange tow, even though they donít have tow authorization on Palisades Parkway. Logic: get the call in, get a ref number, start the process.

6:06 PM Find out AAA didnít renew me automatically.

1989 Honda Accord: Rest In Peace

The purpose of this little blip on the net is to see if using the
STORIES utility in the Manila blogging software will enable those of us
who lost our old weblogs.com  URLs to create our own indirect sort
of redirect.



Got that?



Perhaps you recall the fomer URL of Deanland. It was http://deanland.weblogs.com

THE UNTHINKABLE

If you read the papers, watch TV, listen to
radio, or get your news from the web, by now you know that last night
there was an event of historic proportion, of great magnitude, causing
sadness all over the world for Yankee fans.
