- when i come home from work, i'll change into casual clothes, pajamas, whatever... but more often than not, i won't change socks. so, invariably, i'm walking around my apartment in a t-shirt, pajama pants, and black dress socks. who knew i'm a sixty-year-old man?

 

- i just spent about an hour watching/fast forwarding the marching band tape my high school director gave to me [and to every senior that invites him to their graduation parties]. impossibly geeky, but then, this is why you people love me.

 

- so many dishes to be done this evening that i had to stagger it IN TWO ROUNDS. the stackability would have been well nigh impossible without it all coming down like a jenga match retrieving a juice glass at seven-thirty tomorrow morning.

 

- felt compelled to start listening to christmas music today. go to detuned radio records to listen to one of my favorite christmas cds. andrew peterson's behold the lamb of God [the true tall tale of the coming of christ] is another. i'm taking opinions for other christmas cds that are similarly atypical and fully without cheese.

- and i'm off to bed. after work tomorrow, mdog has no easily accessible internet for the next few days, so... happy turkey day. give thanks.
