Happy Thanksgiving

Wow, this holiday kind of snuck up on me. I've just been all off-season since I missed Halloween. I also got a nice surprise when I got up for work yesterday and it was FREEZING COLD! When did that happen?

In case family dinners at your house are usually fraught with disaster, here's a NYTimes article on how to deal this Thanksgiving.

Also, Rick Moranis by the numbers... I guess when he's not busy shrinking his kids, that is. (Anybody else remember that movie? Gosh, it was so long ago, but I don't know how many times I saw it. Hated the sequels - as often happens with sequels - but the original, man... riding on the ant, and eating the gigantic Oreo... good times.)

You can now advertise on the Golden Gate Bridge. Come on, guys. Christmas is coming. I wanna see my name on that bridge!

And hey, who knew The History Boys was a movie? I saw the play in London, and liked it very much. Kind of curious to see the movie. I feel like it might be too British to be popular here, but who knows? It was on Broadway for awhile, I think, but didn't last long.

It really is dangerous to work for the President. From Yahoo:

Three police motorcycle officers were injured when they crashed on slick pavement while escorting his motorcade on Tuesday. Two were taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where one was described as in serious condition and another was described as stable.

Members of the White House medical team — including an ambulance — were cut loose from the motorcade to help, said Dr. Richard Tubb, Bush's doctor. Local ambulance and fire units were sent, too.

Also, acting White House Travel Office Director Gregg Pitts was beaten and robbed by at least two men while out in Honolulu Monday night. Pitts suffered head and other injuries in the attack. He was awake and alert but remained behind at a Honolulu hospital because of a possible concussion, White House spokesman Tony Fratto said.

Anyway, hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving, eats lots of turkey, and enjoys the time off from work, school, or whatever.
