Happy Thanksgiving
Much to Big Bird dismay, it is Thanksgiving. And first and foremost, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Be sure to eat, drink, and be merry. Most of all, be safe in all of your traveling as you get to and from your holiday destination.
american girl dolls
It was Sept. 28 and I was late too late to score a lunch reservation at American Girl Place for any weekend from mid-November to mid-December. This was a problem. Our trip to the American Girl mega-complex on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan had become a tradition in our family _ something my daughters and, yes, even me, really looked forward to as a way to kick off the holidays. If I think about it rationally, I shouldn’t like it so much. It’s too expensive, it’s too crowded, it’s too ridiculous to think about scores of girls lined up for their turn to watch their dolls get their hair styled at the AG Salon for $20 - and perhaps a facial scrub (for the dolls) too.

Bitten by a bat but kissed on stage
Mr Darling may think that, even when a mega-blunder occurs, a Chancellor of the Exchequer need not consider his position, but Times columnists take our responsibilities more seriously. Were anyone bitten by a bat to die of rabies on account of reading this column last week and taking my advice not to bother seeing a doctor, I would feel honour-bound to resign. So I had better cover myself.

Typhoid
The situation also means the once-tough-talking Spitzer, now widely considered by his fellow Democrats as “the Typhoid Mary of politics” because of the political damage done to them by his massively unpopular plan to give driver’s licenses to illegal aliens, has entered a desperate new phase of his first year in office - one in which he rejects the advice of his own financial professionals in order to curry favor with the voters.

aught
Now that I have bashed ‘Bama a bit, I will remind anyone who has forgotten that the Iron Bowl (Alabama at Auburn) is this weekend. No matter what these two team’s records are, this is one of the great rivalries in all of college football. If you have the chance, you should really watch it. Alabama aught to be mad as heck, and there is just no telling what will happen.

On July 2, 1974, I started work as deputy Washington bureau chief for Rolling Stone magazine.

myspace thanksgiving comments
As I was leaving a comment for my daughter on her MySpace, I noticed a little section she had added that listed things in her life that she wouldn’t trade for anything. She had things like racing horses down the beach with her best friends, ACS (Methodist Youth Conference) and Thanksgiving with her whole family. I smiled as I read the list of moments in her life that she wouldn’t trade for anything. Those moments in our lives are what Thanksgiving is about. It’s not about whether the turkey is perfect or if the pie is right. Usually at our house, the turkey is done when the smoke alarm goes off. Filed under: myspace thanksgiving comments
