I learned the other day that it was Roosevelt who changed over Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday of November, rather than the last Thursday; apparently to extend the Christmas shopping season in a bid to help the retail economy. It led to the following ditty:
Thirty days hath September
April, June and November
All the rest have thirty-one
Until we hear from Washington.
I love that Ugly Betty is an election episode!
I went shopping for comfort food and came home with a lot of cheese, some chocolate and I think I need more liquor
Doesn't sound like a bad plan, all things considered.
Apparently my brain thinks cheese is the answer to everything. I didn't know!
I think I'm gonna have to have a special election dinner. I'm thinking getting pickup from here: [link]
Their first location is less than 0.5 miles from me. The new location is barely a mile from that! I was afraid they were moving, but no. I just hope they can handle 2 locations. Given how popular it is (always overflowing at dinner, with lines out the door) I'm guessing they probably can.
My new cat, halfway out form his hiding place:

He looks just like my cat!
OMG, he DOES look a bit like Jesse & lisah's cats! Big plushy orangeboy!
