Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm not so good with clowns or ass kicking--both feel like tempting fate. I love the Oz quote. Or "Let's not challenge fate."

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

I'm for the Oz quote also.

Our wings are not tired.

Last year it was opened on the 24th, but previous years not until Dec 1st. It might be related to the desire to see the year behind us. Thoughts on opening day?

My thought was to open it US Thanksgiving Day so we can perhaps dredge up some gratitude in that thread too.

Dec 1st? Now? T'day? Some other day?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

My thought was to open it US Thanksgiving Day so we can perhaps dredge up some gratitude in that thread too.

That's a good idea. This year has been apocalyptically bad, but I'm trying to focus (at least SOME of the time) on the the things I'm thankful for.

I like the T-Day idea, too, Laura.

That sounds like a good idea.

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

Thanksgiving sounds like a good day to open it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Amen.

I approve of Thanksgiving opening.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I also approve of opening it on T'day. I know some good things have happened this year.
