A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

If our Desmond and Mina ever lost their love for one another we'd be beside ourselves. I did a quick search but haven't tried it:
How Can I Prevent Cat Aggression After A Vet Visit?
Keep your cats separated for a few hours after returning from the vet.
Put a dab of vanilla extract on the returning cat's head and on the base of their tails.
Utilize feline pheromone products throughout your home like Feliway 1-2 days before visiting the vet.

Last conference I attended before shit went down was in Providence, at a hotel near Hasbro's building. This was a copyediting conference, and some clever person on the conference board asked Hasbro for a bunch of Scrabble and Bananagrams sets for us to play in the lobby and at the bar. They also gave or sold the conference THE best tote bags: basically canvas with the yellow Banangrams bag silk-screened on the side. Very Peel Slowly and See.

@Webhamster Henry: It's the American Graffiti soundtrack, along with Scorsese's mob film soundtracks, that I cite when trying to describe how WCBS 101.1 in the NYC area used to sound. Now it's fairly toothless ’80s and anodyne ’90s. It's why Julie's 1981 shows were SO GOOD—there's lots of ’80s music CBS will never play because they've moved the nostalgia focus forward 30 years.

Yeah, I have always kind of hated the whole stretch of the year from Thanksgiving to Xmas as an adult. Family pressures, juggling two families (Dad/Stepmom-Mom-Stepdad), crowds, financial pressure, Dad's dying suddenly over a Thanksgiving weekend and going to a funeral home in Michigan with Xmas crap blasting at me from every angle...after Mom's issues and estate resolves, and all the paperwork is done, and all the crap in storage sold, and the lawyers paid, etc, I plan on spending every Thanksgiving et al with friends (small gathering) and just doing what I always loved to do back when I had a real job and was able to take off the whole stretch between Xmas and New Years -- sleep for 12 hours a day and play video games with a glass of my favorite bevs next to me for the other 12.

I mean, while my brother in Melbourne is dictating his opinions and stuff from afar (was most recently lectured by him while he was sitting at a winery somewhere near a beach, while I was up at 5 AM waiting for a hospital bed with my Mom in Hackensack), I haven't had a weekend to myself since Mom's diagnosis. And after she's gone, I know I will still be going out to deal with shit for a year or so afterwards. Then...it's total vacation time. I've been putting off a planned trip to Seattle for 4 years now -- first two summers, I was on a German language gig that paid too much for me to justify cutting it short, and then COVID happened, and then job happened, then another job, then more COVID, then Mom.

@YETI BOB glad you had a mellow Friendsgiving! One of my best friends has a place up in Poughkipsee with a yard and she is getting a firepit; next year I'll be up there in all likelihood for an overnighter. I already told her that if she can put me up (she got a cute little saltbox house 3BR/2BA fixeruppper) then I'll bring top-flight vittles from Astoria for us and her critters (currently her main love of her life--her beagle--and a cat that adopted her).

Any kibitzing might be unwelcome or redundant, YB, but I'll say last night in comments on Sam's show there was pretty long, though introductory, discussion of particular techniques/resources for how to address(?) pain with perspectives of awareness and meditative regard. No idea how legit or effective for varying individuals, and I haven't had cause to explore such extra steps and resets, but if you have interest in such angles of suggestion, you could have a look.

@james from westwood YES. Forced gaiety is the worst. I was invited to a New Year's Eve party years ago the NYE after Dad passed and I wasn't ready yet. I drank way way way too much and generally melted down. Last night's festivities were at an Ivy club and I almost melted down--room too crowded, too many people, too many kids running around. I feel wrung out today. Threw on the same clothes that I wore before getting dressed to go out yesterday; have to put away stuff like my "good" purse, shoes, etc--much moving of crap must happen to accomplish this.

Forced gaiety sucks, but there's something about lighting a bunch of candles and having drinks with friends that can really help brighten a dark winter night. But keep it low-key.

As a result, every gift-giving occasion, I have invariabley gotten something that I already have. Getting to UPS is a pain in the ass for me; will try to do it before running out to Mom tomorrow.

@Yeti Bob can't just now. Next year. My plate is at 150% full juggling Mom, my job, my bro trying to remote-manage Mom from afar and thinking he's smarter than everyone else, late Stepdad's pain in the ass family trying to force their way into things to snap up anything in storage that they deem "theirs" (we gave them all of their shit when Mom moved). The one silver lining is the number of pain in the ass people that I will never have to talk too again after Mom is gone...and being able to turn my phone ringer off at night again.

@Threemoons I can sympathize, went through something similar with my mother's unexpected passing years ago. You will get through this, better days are ahead. Don't feel you need to attend gatherings.

! Liberty State Park is not yet protected from Billionaire Fireman's attempt to grab Caven Point to enlarge his luxury golf course. Please call NJ Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin
(732-855-7441) and ask him to post the Liberty State Park Protection Act Bill # A2189 on the Assembly Agriculture & Natural Resources Committee agenda, and for Speaker Coughlin to strongly support this protection act without any exemptions for the Caven Point natural area.

To override Fireman's purchasing of phone bots to falsify support for his land grab, please give your opinion on why we need to protect Liberty State Park from this sort of private theft and what Liberty State Park means to you, Jersey City and people all over New Jersey. Please insist on leaving your name, town and phone # to solidify that you are a real person who cares.
