And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

>Any Canadians around? I'd love to know if it's different there.

I think it waaaay less of a BFD here, and I don't think it's as family imperative. Because it's earlier in autumn, it often marks the end of the summer tourist season, so I know a lot of families that use it to close up the cottage, or to make fall leaf-peeping trips.

I've probably spent as many Thanksgivings not going home (going camping or going to people's cottages) as I have going home and not thought that much about it. It's just another long weekend for me. However, if I missed Xmas, it would be a big deal in my family.

I don't want to be Superman. I want to stay little and be next to Mommy.

Driving by again. I can't do this at work anymore, because I want to keep this job, and my family absorbs my home time; so I have about 15 minutes, three or four times a week. It isn't enough time to be part of a community, and often is just depressing. But I'm going to try it for a while. Tonight, I should actually be back in 15 minutes or so, and may attempt an on-topic post.

The cranberry sauce came right out of the new napkins, just in case anyone was worried. Although it is the first time I have ever sprayed laundry at 1:30 in the morning.

My mother leaves us at Thanksgiving and goes to her sister's dinner in Pennsylvania, so that one of the few times in the year I have to do my own dishes is the time it takes two days. Is that on topic?

All is well that ends in pizza.

on GG: I think Luke is kinda stunned, and then Rory came back. He is still trying to figure out how to bring it up with Lorelai.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

That's also very possible, Daniel, but I think the longer he doesn't bring it up, the less likely it is that he will. And the more likely it will come up elsewhere, especially what with telling Liz

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

one of the few times in the year I have to do my own dishes is the time it takes two days. Is that on topic?
On topic but tragic. I long to actually have a dishwasher again.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Gilmore Girls: I can understand why Luke didn't tell Lorelai when Rory first came home, but last week was just ridiculous. It is so against his character to lie or to not acknowledge his daughter.

Exactly, sj.
