Happy Thanksgiving! Todays menu: various forms of pumpkin. I had to go out to the farmers market to get a pumpkin – who knew they wouldn’t be available in grocery stores after Halloween? I’m (hopefully) having pumpkin-seed-crusted-tofu with baked pumpkin and cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.
I’m feeling mighty anti-social today (or rather, I’m feeling mighty self-centered today), so I’m just hanging out at the house and maybe going for a nice crisp bike ride later on.
The whole family is watching the Macy’s day parade; Mom&Dad in MT, David in ME, me in AL. Not sure if we’ve ever been further away from each other, and yet I feel closer to each of them than I have in years. I’m thankful for that. I’m thankful for having more money than I need. I’m thankful for being able to spend a little bit of that money on organic gala apples. I’m thankful for finding “Zinn & The Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance”. And the fact that my philosophy paper is based around the Phaedro, which I already know a little bit about. And a great girlfriend, who just got a job closer to what she wants to do. And friends I know I can count on. And for a warm jacket on cold days, and heat I can turn on with the touch of a button. And for dreams, which keep my wrists intact.
