Despite having plenty of time to relax this Thanksgiving, I only managed to snap one roll of film with the Argus. This year we visited Grandpa and Grandma K. at their lakeside home in the wilds of northern Minnesota. The weather was unseasonably warm, and our arrival was met with lots of sunshine and some beautiful scenery.
This isn’t much, but it’s heartfelt. To our families, our friends, our colleagues, thanks for everything you have done, and will do. To the good people around the world that make a difference simply because they’re not afraid to volunteer their time, or to make someone smile, we thank you as well.
Have a happy, safe, and delicious Thanksgiving.
It’s been many a year since I’ve cared about video game systems, or games in general. Either I’ve truly gotten too old, or the state of gaming has taken a serious nosedive. The good folks at Nintendo seem to feel the latter is true (although I am getting old). With their new console—the Wii—Nintendo hopes to refocus attention on game-play and simple fun. So, much to my wife’s dismay, I was returned to a childlike state of intense anticipation, waiting impatiently for the Wii’s launch day, November 19.
“Mostly” is the operative word. Still, the end of another long, bitterly contested season of electioneering means no more campaign phone calls, and less garbage filling our mailbox.
We say “buh-bye” to October and usher in a fresh, rather chilly November. The end of October also means the end of the pink-a-rific Upnorth.org. Instead of lamely hightailing it back to the original design, I decided I’d waste an otherwise completely good day redesigning the whole shebang. If you like it, great. If not, I’ll be happy to introduce my boot to your behind.
You may have noticed that I’m sort of sleepy, and outside of seeing double-everything, I’m also a bit surly. Enjoy it while it lasts.
