Let Us Celebrate

Here in the U.S., though not in Little Raveley, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. (My Filofax helpfully notes that tomorrow's Thanksgiving holiday is observed only in the U.S.) As a result, I will be spending a substantial chunk of the next several days engaged in traditional American Thanksgiving activities like fighting traffic, cursing, stuffing food down my gullet until I pee gravy, beaching myself on a couch and caressing a remote control for hours on end, observing the drunken antics of usually staid relatives, and otherwise honoring the memory of the peace struck between Native Americans and this country's European forefathers. (Right before those forefathers ran the Native Americans out of town and onto undesirable plots of land.)

So, if you will also be engaging in these traditional American activities, have a good Thanksgiving. If you won't, then have a good Thursday. Either way, there will likely be no additional Philofaxizing until next week. Try to carry on with some semblance of normalcy.
