Happy Thanksgiving
and in the words of Nancie....
"And next year at this time, may we really have so much to be thankful for: a new president, a new economy, a lasting peace, a new and wonderful beginning for the world."
Theme Thursday: "Thankful"
I'm thankful that I have a home; and thankful that snow melts quickly in the Pacific NW.

CNN.com - Food fad: Turkey gravy-flavored soda - Nov. 24, 2003
Although I think this flavor sounds quite gnarly, I am a BIG fan of Seattle-based Jones soda. They have been very very very friendly to the Dean campaign. (the Dean office is right next door to the Jones Soda headquarters)

I got to see the Capitol Steps show tonight, thanks to a generous Dean supporter. I was there to hand out slim jims and wave my yard sign. (along with half a dozen other Dean folks; shout-out to fellow Ballardite Dave Bailey!)

At the BAmy party on Saturday, I saw something a little disturbing. (other than the person above.) I saw a 5-year old kid with pierced ears. Now, I've always thought it was strange to see pierced ears on a small child. Especially babies. WTF? When they're too young to pay for the holes in their ears, it's basically just the parents trying to decorate their kid. Why put an infant thru that pain so you can show off its jewelry? Anyway,... this wasn't the most disturbing aspect of what I saw. The 5 year old with pierced ears.... it was a boy. At least, I think it was a boy. It had short hair; it was dressed like a boy; and it had an unusual, though basically masculine name. So, what is a parent thinking when they decide to pierce the ears of their young boy and make him wear little gold hoops to parties?

Rachelle describes a weird dream she had about me last night:
"You were in a coffee shop, wearing one of those ivory-colored Irish wool fisherman's sweaters (you know, like the guy on the Irish Spring commercials from when we were younger), working with some new kind of clay, like a polymer clay. You had sculpted this totally cool green chubby monster that had a piano keyboard as a stomach and all these buttons and gizmos on his torso. So I sat down and was playing with the clay with you. The clay was bizarre - it was moldable, but had patterns on it that would stay fixed and not distort, even though you were molding the clay. And the patterns were really psychedelic, like Peter Max style. I was kind of oohing and ahhing over the clay - it was the niftiest stuff I'd ever seen.
So, anyway, I sat there and had a green piece of clay and was showing you how to make a cute little tadpole type of creature (but it had legs too - kind of a cross between a grasshopper and a tadpole), and I was going through all the steps and it was a lot of fun. Then, you excused yourself for a minute to step into an elevator and told me to look after your monster until you got back.
Then, I happened to turn my head for just a couple seconds, and this elderly lady in a wheelchair just sort of whizzes by and abducts your monster. I chased after her, yelling, "Hey! You can't take that! You can't just take stuff just because you like it! What the hell is wrong with you?"
And she says, "Aww honey, I'll buy you a new one." And I said, "NO NO NO - that's an original, you don't understand..."
Anyhow, I got him back, safe and sound, and you came back from your elevator "trip" and that was really about it...and then I woke up. I do remember thinking, "Now that is an unusual sweater for Phil to wear..."

"...All over America, this is what I saw on the tour: Tens of thousands of average Americans who don't like their commander-in-chief lying to them in order to start a war; .... all of us are doing our best to get rid of George W. Bush. But that's a year away. How many more of our children will be sent to their deaths for another no-bid multi-billion dollar Halliburton contract in the next 12 months?"
