Thanksgiving Idea
My wife is working Thanksgiving Day this year, so I'm casting about for things to do on the Great Day of the Bird.
Should I stay at home and pray to Lord Giganticus, the massive LCD monolith that mysteriously appeared several months ago in my living room? Shall I offer up my paltry collection of DVDs for It to digest? Should I stay in and catch up on work? Or go bug my relatives and give them the nasty cold I've had for a few weeks?
I was discussing my options with Anne when it hit me: I should stick to the old ways and do as my forefathers did. Dinner with the Indians! I should be able to go to the nearest casino and mooch off of them, no? I mean, why not? They're supposed to share their plenty, whatever that is, with the white man, right? So it's settled: I'll kick the doors in and demand food. Maybe I'll even bring some blankets to keep warm.

Aha! So *that's* why you didn't post anything for two months!

I'd like to point out that the Indians shouldn't have plenty to share. They live in balance with nature, in a delicate harmony the White Man can not understand. To be in balance denies the possibility of excess. If they do not have excess, then what would they have to share?
This brings the entire Thankstaking holiday story into question...

You should have let me know ...I passed the Ho-Chunk exit on my way up North. I could have dropped you off on Tuesday and picked you up on my way back tonight. Oh well ...maybe next year.
