Off the Air

We will be off the air for a bit.
Some major life changing stuff is underway, here.

Regular programming will resume sometime soon.

Sunday Drive

If'n you can keep up...


Follow me.

Woody

Odd how timeless the songs of Woody Guthrie are...

All those fans must have gotten distracted some time before they got done changing the world.

Fat Bastard Friday

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving...

Rockin' It

Yeah...

This is how we are rolling today.

KVC is already toe up on the couch...

I am fighting through a few more bites, rapping at you.

You gotta pace yourself for this kinda gluttony.

She said she wanted leftovers.

I think we have that covered...

So, happy Thanksgiving.

I am glad you care enough to keep checking in here.

Happy I have such a rad family, blood or not, four legs or two.

Bad days make me think about that, and I have had a few recently.

Probably a few coming up, as well...

Like Thanksgiving dinner, life is only as good as you make it.

Making it is easier with a tight crew.

Put your back and  soul in it, it can be awesome.

I think I have it made.

Thanks for helping...

Turkey Day

Past years on Thanksgiving I am have turkey jokes and such...

You know, we eat turkey on Thanksgiving, there is a country named Turkey. That whole sort of thing. I am a simpleton you know, that sort of humor amuses me.


Anyway, this year I was pondering what sort of turkey day tripe I might post up and actually got to thinking about this...

Turkish themed turkey day meal.


Why have I not thought of this before?
Well, I didn't actually know crap about what kinda food goes with Turkey. I have never been there, I can't think of ever seeing a Turkish restaurant, I haven't come across many recipes from there...

So, I have been poking around Turkish cooking sites, reading recipes, doing my research.
Turns out I did sorta know a little about Turkish food, as it is sorta like mainland Greek food. You know, kebabs, pilafs, stuffed grape leaves and such. I pick up some Mongol influences in a lot of recipes and some Persian undertones as well.


I got a late start on this, this year, so no kebabs today.
I do like this idea, though I am not sure I can get a lot of takers on what is probably the most traditional meal menu day of the year...


We are doing some of our usual things here. A stuffed theme maybe, portabellas stuffed with crab, I am doing that butternut squash thing I mentioned a few weeks back, got a tiny hen that I will stuff with something. Nothing over the top, but I am sure we'll all be stuffed before the day is out.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Let me know if you wanna try doing a Turkey day thing sometime.

Wall of Death Wednesday

Story time...

Nova

No, not the show on PBS...



I am talking about sump'n else.

Animal

Whawhawhat?

A drum battle with local ?uestlove and Animal, from the Muppets...on Fallon?



Now this is television I can appreciate.
That is entertainment...


Just by the way, it is exceedingly rare that I watch any of these late night guys, with their oddly similar programming formats. The late night talk dudes show up about the same time my own brain is warmed up and working, so I try to put it to better use than passive entertainment.
I do have to say that on the rare occasion I see Fallon, he might be my genre favorite at this point.
Yeah, Conan is hilarious, Letterman is still funny-but I feel like I am watching an old man social club a lot, and Leno-man, just stop...
Jimmy Fallon, with that earnest effort in getting a laugh and entertaining, seems more genuine to me.

Travel

People always seem to assume it is really fun travelling for work.

KVC gets that all the time - "Oooh, going to Asia! That sound neat!"

I get that sorta thing less, as I don't really talk to people about myself. When it does come up, that my job has me travelling, I usually just smile it off. I have been on the road more than I am with my current gig, in the past...
Really, it is kind of a pain. You know, there is all the shit at home that needs to happen if you are there or not. Living out of a bag, in weird hotels. The work part and the fact that you really have nothing to do but work.

Lately, I have been trying to enjoy and recognize some of the positives about work travel. They are pretty small things.

Like having a favorite gyro joint...in DC.
Walking in cities when I can, rather than taking cabs.
That sort of thing.

Rocco

Reminder about this guy...
He really did change skating.

It is a pretty good documentary.
If you have ever cared about skating, give it a watch.
I actually watched the whole damned thing...
That should let you know it's interesting.
