Good morning and welcome back to those who had a three-day weekend.
Today's main announcement is that Thanksgiving is barely more than a week away, and you're probably all fucked. Those of you who are traveling for the holiday, particularly by air, are also, as always, fucked. Those of you who plan to do your grocery shopping Wednesday night are supremely fucked.
A reminder that the TIP Book Club is meeting on Thursday. I don't know when because we hippie left-coasters aren't really invited (we also make very late morning announcments). This month's selection is Candide, a rollicking satire of 18th Century Europe. To guide your reading, consider whether Mr. Rogers was alluding to Voltaire when he asked, "Do you ever grow ideas in the garden of your mind?" Bonus points will be awarded to those with adequate knowledge of French to provide a rough translation for "Cunegonde."
Lunch today will be breakfast burritos, with bacon, sausage, grilled ham, green chile, eggs, cheese, and hash browns. Meatless options are available and quite nearly as delicious.
Special holiday-themed pomegranate margaritas will be available for $1 per personal-sized bucket. For non-drinkers, I have disinfected the drinking fountain. Enjoy.
And if you want to be come to BC, suggest a time that works for you, Ms. Bossypants. I do recall us East-coasters (aka The Cool Club) opening it up for discussion.
