Happy wishes for the holiday, and two other points

Here's a big Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate it. And even if you don't, I hope you have a great day. I'm remote blogging from my mom's house in Topeka, KS, where I'll be until Saturday-ish. (We haven't completely nailed down our plans; it could be Sunday before we return.)

In the mean time, there are two points of interest that I'd like to mention. First, I'm reasonably certain that I did not have any conversations with Bob Woodward regarding Valerie Plame's status as a CIA agent.* In fact, I'm fairly sure I have never had any conversation with Bob Woodward whatsoever. I must admit that given recent events, I'm not regretting that in the least.

Second, I saw via Orange Tangerine and Welcome To The Nuthouse that December 1st is Blog Against Racism Day. As fate would have it, I was already planning on writing a post about racism anyway, so I already have a topic in mind. So really, this special day for racism blogging allows me to feel like I'm participating in something important while simultaneously practicing a favorite hobby of mine: procrastination.

I know I said there were only two points, but I do appreciate your willingness to indulge me in one more: Sunday is my birthday. I'll be 27. (And you know what they say about 27, right? Eight nine thirty.) I mention it only as an explanation for why I won't be posting until Monday. But I do promise to come back with something substantial next week.

So until Monday, please have a wonderful and safe weekend.


* I know I'm late to this party. But allow a poor blogger to indulge himself, won't you?
