I’m about the biggest fanboy that Google has, but I’ll also be the first one to tell you it’s kind of scary how much they know about me. I believe that they totally live up to their idea of “don’t be evil” and I love the things that they are doing to know me better, but it does make me hard to sell their ideas when the things that they do have a high creepy factor. I’m okay with a little creepy if it helps me get to my info quicker. I’m okay with Google knowing who I am.

I don’t know that I can explain how I came up with this, except to say that there are sometimes people in this world who would love to run you through their hair. Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

A few things about me are consistently true. One is that I’m often late. The fact that this sketch is going out at 1 a.m. the day after its post date should give you some sign of this.

I love Burger King fast food as much as the next person, but with every bite, I know I’m killing myself just a bit faster.

I’ve watched this great documentary called Circus on the Big Apple Circus on PBS. The amazing performers on the show inspired me to do this sketch. If you get a chance to check it out, please do.

We buried mom today. If there’s one thing that stands out about my common experience with her, it is a mutual appreciation of great food. She was a wonderful and deeply resourceful chef, but she also loved to go out to have a great meal. As time went on and especially after Dad died, we spent most of our time together going out to eat. She would always enjoy comfort foods, and the easier to chew the better. She noted the success of a place by how well they cooked chopped sirloin with gravy and onions with a side of mashed potatoes. I plan to celebrate her memory with that meal often in the future.
