To the Bone!

So, here I've been in Minnesota for four days, and I've managed to eat twice my weight in various Thanksgiving foodstuffs. I've even been bad and had turkey--that's right, I've eaten meat--and I will again tomorrow. But after that, probably not until next Thanksgiving, if then.

But tomorrow night (Saturday) Michele and I are going to Carbone's in Lakeville for pizza and beer. We have a few others interested in showing up, but here is an open invitation to all who may be interested in and capable of meeting us there. We're aiming to get there about seven, and we'll stay until ten or eleven. Can't stay too late--driving for twelve hours the next day, starting B'n'F'n E.

So, all those in favor say "Aye." Or just be there.

Happy Halloween

Boo.

I didn't wear a costume today, but I told my Logic students that I was dressed as my own evil twin. Then they asked me if my evil twin would be nicer to them than I am.

Rotten skunks. Hehe.

On another note: Still not eating meat, seventy-two days later. It's gotten to the point now that I don't even consider that during the course of my day. We discuss what we're going to eat, we pick something, and we make it. The fact that meat isn't included in the conversation becomes less noticeable all the time.

Weird.

Tomorrow starts NaNoWriMo. I think I'm ready. I need something to kick me in the ass and make me keep at it.

I got confirmation today that I'll be teaching two sections of Comp I at OCCC next semester. I'll also be teaching two sections of Fundamentals of English and one section of Comp II at Rose. That's more like a real workload. Should be fun.

We'll be driving to Minnesota for Thanksgiving. I'm not sure how many days we'll be up, but we'll have time to see many of you in the Twin Cities area (those of you not traveling to other places, that is). That's only three weeks away. Yikes.
