- I’m not sure when I lost the ability to sleep late, but it’s quite gone. I got up to pee at 6:15 this morning and started ambling out to make coffee, and thought “this is completely ridiculous. Go back to bed, Bo.” So I did. Then I popped right back up at 7:30, and clearly wasn’t going back down. That just sucks. Is that a sign of latent tension? Just getting old?
- It’s been a chilly November, but it got to 62º today. I wore a T-shirt.
- My lovely mother-in-law doesn’t believe in any less than ten different dishes on the table for Thanksgiving. My niece and nephews are now pleasant to visit with in a young-adult sort of way, as opposed to an older-kid sort of way. That’s cool.
- I worked on a Michelob Craft Sampler with my dad. The pale ale is really very good; the porter, tolerable. We played gin rummy for the first time in a while.
- Kirstie Alley was pretty damned hot in 1989. (Look Who’s Talking is on, and far more engaging background noise than the Texas-Texas A&M blowout.)
- Lea has only limited plans for the Black Friday insanity. She, her sisters, and her mom have previously done the four-in-the-morning commando thing, but I think her excursion tomorrow may be limited to Old Time Pottery (which is on our end of town and three-quarters of a mile from Wal-Mart).
- Incidentally, the rest of you who get out in that shit are nuts. When shopping like a normal person during normal hours and paying normal prices, I’m content viewing the whole thing as paying a slight surcharge in exchange for not being surrounded by throngs of lunatics.
- Lots of Iron Bowl talk today from all quarters. More on that tomorrow.

I never got the Black Friday phenomenon, either. Besides, since the advent of the internet, most of my holiday shopping is done via mouse clicks, and a nice young man in an ugly brown uniform leaves the stuff at my door…
Even 6:15 has gotten to the point of “sleeping in” for me. I guess I’ll be watching “The Lawrence Welk Show” and openly discussing my bowel movements soon.
