Thanksgiving Blogging

It may be light this weekend, but probably not. While Mal is doing something customarily fabulous like going to the Hamptons with his adorable hubby, I do know he has hatched some insidious scheme involving pre-set blog posts that go off like time bombs. He does it to challenge me. The man is harsh gay blogging task master, and just be thankful you don't get strange e-mails at four in the morning with "Robbie, your unhinged right-wing screed to hot guy post ratio is down, down, down!"

But seriously, one of the many things I am thankful for this year is the opportunity to blog here. I've enjoyed getting to know our readers, correspond in IM and e-mail, and hear from so many people with such varied opinions, interests, and personalities. I also have the opportunity to work with Mal who is truly a genuinely nice, thoroughly decent guy, which isn't always the easiest thing to find while mucking about the gay world.

Hopefully this holiday finds all of you well, fed, and happy. Being the Irish-American type I am, we've set aside many a bottle of wine, the Bailey's Irish Cream, the liquor, and the crazy relatives. Armed with the laptop, I'll no doubt be blogging throughout the day while wedged on the couch between over-perfumed, lipsticky cousin and her evil twin, "I'm on several mood enhancers/inhibitors, so of course I'd love some vodka!" The key today will be seeing whether or not I can blog without degenerating completely under rum assault.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

Have fun, Robbie. I am going to spend Thanksgiving with my aetheist Jewish friends who all know each other since they all practice traditional Scottish/English sword dancing. Only in America - vive la difference!

Thanks for your blog. It'a the day after, and we just got back from the early bird shopping. I am improving my audio-workstation computer thing, and bought a new amp. The store was super crowded. The checkout line was super slow. It was a nightmare! Won't do that again.... 'til the next time.
