As I stand in the station, waiting for a train, I wish to make it
known that I am quite thankful. And, I hope that wherever you are, you
are filled with bliss (and potatoes).

Now, if you will excuse me, my ride is here. Time to meet the wife and
Little D for some grub and refreshment.

Happy Thanksgiving, my friends.

Come on. Let's have a celebration.

When you're not watching his speech over and over today, take some time to peruse all the photos people are uploading to Flickr of their celebration. It's pretty fantastic.

Three hours in line to cast mine this morning, but it was worth it. Plan accordingly, kids -- cast them votes.

I was working on the blog, late one night day... Happy Halloween, my friend. I trust your evening will be filled with candy and ironic costumes. Myself, I'll be driving up north to the great state of Massachusetts wearing my Spider-Man outfit. Should be a good time.

I did a massive flickr update, filled with treasures for anyone (who's interested) to enjoy. First, there was the wunderbar day spent hiking and drinking at the Bear Mountain Octoberfest, then there was the whirlwind weekend spent in the City of Angels, a jaunt into Beantown with Klove, and an Arts Fest in PA. (I've even got photos up of my summer in Maine and recent reunion in Delaware, for those who are friends on Flickr... If you're interested in seeing, but are not a Flickr member, email me and I'll send you a guest pass to look at those...)

If you haven't watched it already, run over to YouTube and watch Cyrus and Duck Talk About Stuff: Episode 4. They took their time in releasing this latest episode, but it was well worth the wait. Get these guys their own network show, pronto.

Other than that, the fall is flying along at breakneck speed. With baseball over, attention has been entirely focused on my 5-2 Buffalo Bills. Well, that, and the awesomeness that is Rock Band 2. In addition to the 84 songs that come with the disc, you can also play all the songs you bought for the 1st game -- AND the songs on the first disc. Wicked. We've been rocking out, Wyld Stallions style.

Oh, and there's some sort of election-thingy going on next week.

But I haven't seen much about that on the news. Or in the papers. You should probably vote, anyways. It's your duty.

The Change Train is Comin', Baby.

A quick post of congratulations to Lars and Les, the new proud parents of a baby girl. Isabella finally decided to join the world this morning, and we couldn't be more excited for her and her parents. She's going to have a lot of lovin' out on the Left Cost.

More details (and hopefully, pics) to come later.

Okay! Okay!

**Update! Our first photo of Isabella, from Larry's Facebook page! What an adorable little chew!

Boy, these late playoff games are killing me. Watching playoff baseball is usually tense and stressful enough -- I don't need to throw in the added aspect of slight loopiness from sleep deprivation (and beer) into the mix as well. But, that's where we are, here in Game Two, as I try to not hoarf while I sit on the couch and watch Daisuke go through his token crappy inning.

Finally, it looks like we'll have some weekends at home here this fall (aside from the big family reunion next weekend). Feels like we've been driving non-stop since we got back from Ireland. It'll be quite nice to just hit the Bills Bar this weekend to watch my boys from Buffalo attempt to go 5-0.

Beautiful catch by Nancy Drew to save a home run. I almost spit Yeungling all over my beautiful iMac.

I've still got tons of photos due to pop on Flickr, but time hasn't allowed for me to focus on that yet. I know you're just dying to check them out, but you'll just have to wait.

The Messageboard has finally gotten a little cleanup. With the reduction in action on the board, we've decided to whittle things down to an East/West forum setup. We've still got everyone's favorite Flash Videos, Political Commentary, and even a retrospective look at the Film Fop Forum.

With the plethora of great new albums this fall, I've also relaunched my song of the day/week feature, so be sure to take a look and check it out. You should get at least a good song a week out of it.

Alright. That's enough for now. It's the 7th, and daddy's gotta get a refill of his thinkin' juice.

Go Sox. Go Bills. Go Bombers.

PS -- I downloaded the full album of "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" on Rock Band tonight. As I started playing the opening track, I instantly turned into the 15-year-old version of me. It was pretty amazing. All those years of air guitar and air drums actually paid off. If you have the means, I highly reccomend it.
