I have no unified theory, I have no coherent theme, this is just an update. Because it's better than doing work while (allegedly) on vacation.
1) Went to an Obama fundraiser/rally last week. It's the first time since I was a kid that I attended a paid political event. Yeah, I like the guy. No, I'm not endorsing him here. It's not about him, really; I just keep getting this really bad feeling, this "Holy Fuck, are we living in the Mirror Universe?" feeling. Like we're gonna go off the rails here pretty soon.
Related Note: Somebody invents a time machine, I'm punching up Florida, November 2000. (Wouldn't take much to change things, either - classic time travel scenario.)
2) Had a pie potluck at work. I made a traditional Shoo Fly Pie, and was quite pleased with it. Of course, due to my self-imposed sugar restrictions I couldn't eat the thing. But it was really just to get me in the door so I could sample all the other pies and pie-like objects, and steal home recipes from the four corners of the globe.
3) I'll be in Eastern PA all this week, to visit friends and family, and to handle the turkey dinner while my mother rests up before surgery (yep, it's scheduled right after Thanksgiving.)
4) Carrotmob. I don't know if this stands a snowball's chance in Tartarus* of working, but their business plan is awesome.
Wait, a theme has emerged. Food. Life is food. Cool.
I shall now time travel back to Broward County in the year 2000, and bribe the retirees with Shoo Fly Pie.

* (hmmm. I must remember idea for extremely spicy fish dipping sauce - "Tartarus Sauce")
