Welcome to this my debut blog entry...surely to be one of many infrequent posts about not much. Of course this was my intention, to release some detritus from my subconscious mind...thereby freeing up valuable neuronal space. Today is Dec.23rd (right? I mean I'm on holidays, where dates are generated randomly) which means many of us are polishing our aluminum Festivus poles, and getting ready to wrestle eachother and reflect on our personal relationships over the past year. Celebrating Festivus is a new tradition, even though it's over 5000 years old, thankfully brought back to life by Frank Costanza (bless him everyone). I would give this man my last piece of cheese, which reveals the depths of my fondness for him...not a man-crush, simply a deep respect.
This time of year also brings those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere the shortest day of the year, Winter Solstice. Apparently in Kenora (town in northern Ontario where mom lives) it's tradition to strip oneself to a very naked state and dance around the towns Christmas tree singing incantations (the sheet they handed out seemed to be written in tongues, so I had to pretend I was singing...like we all did in public school choirs). I've never done this before, and was quite surprised to see the large turnout. Some bore bags of seeds and herbs that were deftly sprinkled and tossed at the base of the tree. I came with a peculiar blend of brash modesty and considered gait, this being my first time naked in Kenora. Good times.
My shopping is done as of today...very excited...did well. I'll let everyone know how it turned out, a few gifts are questionable as always...but I like to take chances. Merry Christmas everyone, and have an adequately joyous new year!
