The harvest season falls earlier in Canada compared to the United States due to the simple fact that Canada is further north.
As if our harvest actually falls in November...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now called Newfoundland, to give thanks for surviving the long journey. This is considered the first Canadian Thanksgiving. Other settlers arrived and continued these ceremonies. He was later knighted and had an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in northern Canada named after him - Frobisher Bay.
Otherwise known as, "Thank God we're off that boat." You know, I've never even known we had a first Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is not really mythologized here the way it is in the US. There's no breaking bread with the Indians, or any real historical ties. It's like, "Have the day off and stuff yourself with Turkey! Brought to you by Butterball."

Kat, I have that same problem with Scrabulous on my home computer. It may be my version of Flash is old, but I also have a very old version of Firefox running and I think it's one of the two.

Anyway, she typed practically, a Canadian Thanksgiving would have featured seal meat, and um, maple syrup.

Today's work is done. Very crudely executed, but done.
I hate being at the bottom of the learning curve.

Here in the land of school, we celebrated Wherethehellami Day, or at least I did by driving from PA to MA with only one serious slowdown between here and there.
I've been too tired to actually eat, but I'll fix that soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Can I just say, I hate this weather? It's too darn hot!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just bumped into Burrell's DH.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You know, it's the little things: today I wore a shirt I haven't worn in a year. I had forgotten, until the bathroom mirror at 4:30 this afternoon, that you can pretty well see my chest/bra. But, I really didn't leave my office much today, I wore a sweater, and had no big meetings with anyone important! So, all in all, could be worse! Also my bra was black. Because I remembered that the color was visible. Just not the rest of it. Sigh.

It's been really hot here (cf Chicago Marathon) but I can feel a storm rolling in big time. (Sumi?)
