Iggy's upstairs making Cranberry Swirl Cheesecake! Heavenly smells are descending...

I followed a maze of string leading me under the table and around the potted palm until I arrived at a site that asks the essential question "Why did the squirrel jump onto the electrical transformer?" Scores of the great (and not so great) minds of all time starting at Aristotle and continuing to Yoda are represented among the answers along with musical accompaniment. I had a good chuckle at some, glanced over others until my eyes fell on one name and I felt I had jumped onto the electrical transformer as well. Ralphie made the list. Check out the Royal Canadian Air Farce version (Skit 7) of our premier.

Canadian Thanksgiving this past weekend and I'm done with turkey. I introduced my nephew to the site for Sodaplay and he became absorbed in it. It has more redeeming qualities than the site he shared with me!

Watched the episode on terrorism done by The West Wing last night. Very much a first year dialogue from PoliSci 101 but an interesting way to not have to deal with the particulars. My primary source of enjoyment came from the food references. I had just asked my roommate to get me some apples at the store so I could continue my nightly apple and peanut butter ritual. It was great to know I'm not the only one! I was introduced to this treat by an exchange student from Japan.

Good to know I'm not alone.

I still haven't figured it out. That would require 'time' and I have been busy with work and life and random play. Outside of leaving work early because of the bomb scare in the building. After the 'events' earlier this fall, that seemed more ominous than it did last winter.
I'll have to go watch the news and see if anything came of it. I'm sure some student had a test and didn't prepare.

I'm listening to Christine Lavin in concert from the archives of Testing Testing. Monday night concerts will now become a regular draw for me.
I'll come back and update this when I know what I'm doing.
