Red Eyed Thanksgiving

In a handful of minutes I’ll be on my way to Chicago to pick up my brother from the airport. I just checked his flight schedule and it’s delayed, meaning he won’t touch down until 1:30a.m. tomorrow morning. It’s going to be a long and tired drive to Sturgis afterwards. On the upside, I get to hang out in Chicago for the evening. On the downside it just started snowing like crazy.

I was looking at my server logs and noticed that lots of people (167 this month) are finding my site though an incorrect spelling of the current holiday: “thanksgiven”. I made a post with that title two years ago and meant it to be a way to say “after Thanksgiving.” The weird thing I just noticed from Googling is that Miguel made a post with that name last year. How odd that now both of our weblogs show up on the first Google results page for a misspelling.

Anyway, enough rambling. Enjoy your family and friends. Eat till you puke.

Happy turkey day Simon. Eat a piece of pumpkin pie for me, please. In Japanese, turkey translates literally to seven faced bird. —jake

Hey Simon! Did you listen to ‘this american life’ today? In the second ‘act’, ‘postcards from the dead,’ they mention a man named Simon King who had an image of his face put on his grave stone. You should listen to it- it’s a good episode.

I actually did eat until I puked. It was just like the Romans! I also ate more after puking, I know, its totally gross.
