Everyone who went out the night before thanksgiving in their hometown is so brave. Couldn’t be me. I only like about two people here. Stay safe out there

The Night Before Thanksgiving Part XI (11) written 11/22/23.

On a dark desert highway.... no wait that Henley & the Eagles. Busted Flat in Baton Rouge... Sorry Kristofferson(RIP), I'm not in Louisiana. Just type dumbass, there we go. That works.

This is the twelfth night I've sat down and slapped at the keys on the night before Thanksgiving. I haven't been tumbling much. I've opened and scrolled here and there, but I think this is my 2nd post of the year. Probably less than 10 since I sat here last year.

On the way home earlier, Tom Petty's Free Fallin' came on and it made me smile, then it made me sad. I miss ole Thomas Earl. I am thankful that his family, wife/daughters/Heartbreakers have continued to unearth and release music. There is that, and it's better than anything else being played today.

When I was a teenager, the night before Thanksgiving usually meant a trip to Pizza Hut. Later on when it was usually just my brother and myself, it was Chinese Buffet. I miss both of those too. Yeah, I could have either, but neither would be exactly the same. Kinda like snow days as a kid were king, and now they are just another pain in the ass.

I've mentioned before in this collection of whatever you want to call it, how one of my traditions was to read Ron Green Sr. Mr. Green passed away earlier this year and he had retired from even that column a few years ago. Scott Fowler has offered his version a time or two. It's not the same, but I've still read it.

Maybe one of these days I'll copy all of these into word and save it as a PDF so it's easier to read straight through. Not that anybody has ever done that.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Well, most everyone.

Eueueueu- I’m so normal about ToyBox hellooo-

You cannot tell me that this song doesn’t fit the vibe ToyBox has- Little lore dump under the cut cause yeah <3 I’m so normal

This is basically what the bishops go through on daily basis- Having to entertain a lot of people who have no clue they’re being held there against their will. People who don’t question why the Mime’s mouth is sewed shut, why the juggler has his eyes in his hands, why the Aerialist always seems to cry after their sets, why the storyteller goes off script.

There’s no question about it. And it makes the bishops grow restless, they get agitated- they feel hurt. Their loved ones aren’t coming for them. They’re stuck working under someone who only wanted their brother all to herself. How cruel, how selfish.

They have to play a role in order to live, how much longer can they withstand it?

apparently last night a guy in my brother’s college class tried to make a pass at him via canvas message at 3am. my brother was like sorry i don’t go that way but have a good night and the guy responded at 4am with “yeah you too”. he told me he’s very embarrassed by this but i think it’s so funny. imagine using canvas dot com as a dating app and then the guy is straight anyway

Annual Wayne Enterprises Thanksgiving Dinner

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we hope you all have a fantastic one.

Tonight, Wayne Enterprises is holding a Thanksgiving dinner for those who are unable to have their own tomorrow. Like usual, Nightwing is patrolling the event so there aren't interruptions.

Even if you do not celebrate Thanksgiving, free food is free food.

The Night Before Thanksgiving Part XI (11) written 11/22/23.

Where to start, where to end? This is more of a ritual than anything at this point. Eleven nights, I've sat here and let the soul bleed. Is it for the better? Who knows. To quote the great John Fox, "It is what it is.

I've mentioned the former Charlotte Observer writer Ron Green Sr. And reading his traditional Thanksgiving column. It ended a couple years ago but Scott Fowler has continued the tradition. I'll give it a read. It might take me back. It might not. We will see. I hope it does.

Sitting here IPO think to moments missed mentioned in previous installments and I ache. I can't do a damn thing about it, but I ache.

I started this at 40 years old; I've probably tamed that wild streak even more at this point but I can drift back in my mind. My pops passed at 52 and at 51, it's a bit hard to take day by day knowing I might surpass his days on earth. That will be eerie.

Happy Thanksgiving to all three of you.

Getting a horrifying look at literary agent work schedules based on when they email me

[soutsuji]

There's an English class on Golden Age detective fiction being offered next semester but the prerequisite for it is the intro to literary study class required for all English majors (which I haven't taken because I'm in a hard STEM major and don't have much time for electives, which means that I have to be really picky with my electives and only go for stuff I like AND doesn't have an awful workload) and also even if I did have that prereq, I wouldn't be able to take the class because it's at the same time as one of my major reqs. And also I'll be in two labs next semester and one of them is pure hell so like I literally don't have the time to take more than 13 credit hours (as tempting as it is to keep up my streak of taking 17-18 every semester even though it's been like really pretty bad for my social life and hobbies). Sigh. (Pressing my hand wistfully against the glass) maybe someday they'll offer the class again

Time to celebrate! Toni has finally been spayed!!!

We have had her on the books and cancelled so many times between my mom ending up in the hospital, my grandmother, and Toni going into heat
