It's a fun holiday. You'd enjoy it (if you haven't been here for it at one time or another).
One of my favorite parts is that the traditional Thankgiving dinner -- turkey and stuffing, potatoes, brussel sprouts, squash, green beans, cranberries -- is based on the hardiest crops; the stuff that's available very late in the year, when the frost comes, long after the final harvests. It's about remembering a time before there was a United States, when it was all about living very close to the land on this strange new continent.
We have it too. Just a month earlier. We get those same great Autumn scenes and football on the TV - though it's the CFL. I like what it represents in families and wish I had that kind of relationship with people where I would be on someone's invite list. I am quite good dinner company.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

I feel dumb for not knowing that.
It's your pitiful education system that I blame. Luckily you lived in a time when people still read books.
But really, you didn't know we have Canadian Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October? What else don't you know?
