We're planning to move up to PDX in the spring (my mom moved to Idaho, so there's no reason for us to live in Redneckpalooza any more) and I think I'll definitely be springing for season tickets.

In other news, Thanksgiving is upon us. Just a small gathering at our place of family + friend, then it'll be back to work. I finally managed to finish a track this week for the first time in about 10 months, so I have high hopes that my writing slump is finally over. It feels like it, anyhow.

Decided to climb Rocky Top today instead of tomorrow. Took this picture of Mt. Jefferson from the summit. Hit my Flickr page for more of the same.

2. It occurs to me, in my advanced years, that the holidays are not really a time when older people give you, like, food and presents and stuff. They're actually just a big exercise in logistical planning, and their success is measured by your skill in same.

3. I wish I could finish a fucking song. I sure do start a lot lately. I should make an album of 1-minute snippits. It would be 70 tracks long.

4. President-Elect Obama is now giving weekly YouTube addresses. I feel like my jet pack is right around the corner.

5. I'm going to climb a mountain this weekend. And that's not a metaphor.

So get out there and do your thing. Unless, you know, you're a Republican. Then you're welcome to stay home and drink yourself in to a stupor. In fact, I'd prefer that you do.
