Thanksgiving has come and gone. We spent Black Friday enjoying the company of family, and we did not buy a thing.
Now it's December and time to kick it up a notch and finish those gifts I started making.
I've been lending support to Occupy Erie, while occupying my house and thinking about what occupiers might eventually do here in Jamestown. I am working with the social justice committee at church to organize a film and discussion series that will be open to the community. It's disappointing that most people get their information from television. They know all about child molesting coaches and Michael Jackson's doctor, but have no idea how their jobs, healthcare, pensions, and homes are being stolen out from under them. They really ought to know.
Still waiting for The Invasion of the Contractors to end. Went a whole afternoon this week without electricity (the candlelight when it started getting dark -- which it does very early these days-- was rather nice actually)--and overnight without internet -- while the electricians came in and did the big upgrade. We're almost finished now. Weather has made this a long, drawn out process, but the gutters are supposed to be hung tomorrow... and that should just about do it for now.
