We bade a fond fondue to the Smurfs last night, a bit earlier than originally planned. This is probably for the best, since MrsBlue does not have today off from work (today is the celebration of Columbus Day here in the states, as well as the more politically correct, as well as more obscure Indigenous People's Day), which would have left me trying to single-handedly wrangle the youngsters along with this update. In any event, a fine time was had by all, and I think I have definitely inspired a new Giants fan (which has been pointed out in the forums to be a questionable gift to bestow upon a child).

Anyway, with the holiday, things will likely be quiet today... speaking of holidays, happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating up in Canada.
