I'm totally obsessed with Desperate Housewives.

Today DC named their baseball team the Washington Nationals. Who gives a shit?

I see that my site counter is coming close to 10,000. That's pretty cool. The only thing is I won't know who the 10,000th visitor is. If you check in in the next few days and notice you are the 10,000th visitor, shoot me an e-mail and let me know. I'd love to find out who it is. The counter is in the sidebar. Scroll down to see what number you are. Better yet, I'd love it if you did a screen capture and send that to me. That would prove and I'd love to see it.

Today I got an invitation to have Thanksgiving dinner with a colleague of mine. She's a very nice lady. She asked what I was doing and if my mom was cooking this year. I told her the story and she asked if I'd join her and her 16 guests. That was very nice of her but I declined. I've been teaching with her for 17 of my 18 years and have come to know her pretty well. She's a republican. The last thing I want to do is spend Thanksgiving with a republican colleague. However, she and I work very well together. She's very dedicated to making sure my students are successful. I respect her for that. I don't have to respect her for her political choices.

Turns out my good friend David doesn't have any plans for Thanksgiving. I've invited him over for pizza and movies. As of this writing, I haven't heard back from him but I'm sure he'll let me know if he's up for it.

Two more work days and then it's time off. I can't wait.

UPDATE 7:37 PM: David has invited me to his house for Thanksgiving. We are going to cook our own Thanksgiving dinner. He's going to get a small turkey, a vegetable, and stuffing. I'm going to bring potatoes, cranberry sauce, and a desert. Of course I'll have pictures! Thanks David! This might become my new tradition.
