It's HERE!

Tomorrow is the big day, but today feels like a holiday too! No classes, leaving the office at noon. Thanksgiving is a good holiday for me. No presents to buy, just food and drink and sports and family (not really in order of importance there)! It is a time to relax, enjoy the blessings God has given us and spend time with family. Of course I won't get to see any of my extended family and I will miss talking to my Mom on T-day, but my wife, daughter, dog, hampster and I always make it a good day. One downside is that after Thanksgiving, the Christmas "rush" really intensifies! Oh well, let me just enjoy this break, get back to classes on Monday and then deal with the madness of the X-mas season. I really do love the Christmas holiday season, it is just that the crass commercialization has gotten so much worse and starts so much sooner now, and worsens each year. But, my family enjoys Christmas and we try to make it more about the birth of Christ, goodwill among all people, good food and family, but "gifts" are still a big part of it for my kids. Anyway, logging off for a few days. Hope everyone has a safe and meaningful holiday!

Good day
