I will disagree with you about winter. I love winter. Maybe you should try moving a state or two south, where you get more “crisp” and less “soggy.” But, I hate Pennsylvania.

Cable. Man, I just don’t know. I mean, the whole concept of cable is supposed to be the support of niche networks. Because we’re paying for the bundle, History Channel gets to limp along on the same budget as PBS. Of course, the execs are never satisfied with that. And “reality” TV is cheap, easy, and freakishly popular.

I’m waiting for web-based programming to really take off. I think we’re only a couple years away now. I want to be able to make my own goddamned channel, just like I make my own iTunes playlist instead of listening to the radio.

And don’t you dare put those others in with eggplant. You make Baby Jesus cry when you do that.

On a serious note, Alzheimer’s is just horrid for everybody involved. It’s a tremendous responsibility for people when it happens — a shame, and hopefully some kind of light is on the horizon for that.

So, um, I’m thankful that I could provide the research community with those.

And I love eggplant parm, but will not touch it any other way. Tomatoes, Green Peppers, and Potatoes are nightshade too.

But I miss the wild Belladonna that used to grow in the yard at the old house.

However, I love the Pterodactyl metaphor. You did this because of the “Motherfucking Pterodactyl” thing you saw the other day, right?

Oh, and don’t believe the hype from Paul and Drew, Chuck. What will they try to pair eggplant with to make it allegedly tasty? Tomatoes. Some people put a meaty slice of tomatoes *right on top* of a slice of eggplant and call it a meal. I know, I know, you’re gagging right now. Your hatred of tomatoes is legend.

I’m anti-thankful for leaky heart valves, as one continues to F with my mom. I’m quite thankful for Thanksgiving, as it gave us a reason to host her and my family, and an excuse to clean my house.

I an anti-thankful for getting older. My mind has grown and is sharper, but my body just can’t keep up with it anymore. Please have cyborg replacement parts soon.

I am thankful for a whole shit-load of things that would take far too long to list. At the top is anticipating a house full of friends and family to eat good food, drink, be merry… and game.
