And now for something completely different

I had an excellent Thanksgiving.

It started with the Turkey Trot, which I was happy with and ended with an Arlo Guthrie-esque Thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat.

Today, as I was running errands around the metro area, (and no, there was no Black Friday Shopping), I was listening to Lifter (especially Big & Tall(MP3)) and realized that even more than usual I was turning into a cliche.

Remember that scene from The Big Chill where Kevin Kline's character says, "There is no other music," in reference to the music from the late '60s? Yeah, that's what I was thinking about this album and then I remembered that this album is fifteen years old.

I am an old, and I will just claim it as a mantle of pride.

Now, I am enjoying a cup of coffee, still listening to Lifter, and thinking about what a joy my son is. @PVH1976 has remarked that he is a little clone of me, and I saw it yesterday...the way he talks to think, but considers the words he uses, the way his stories go on, and how he thinks through problems, rather than rushing right in (rest well, gentle reader, he does share some of my good qualities too) and it made me so proud to be his dad. I do have one fear related to this, and I may share it, but let me just put it this way...my fear is that there is going to be a situation where I put someone's jaw through the back to their skull because of their attitude towards him.
