save a turkey. eat some tofu. or lentils. or seitan. oh forget it. eat the turkey. it tastes good if i remember correctly.

It's the night before Thanksgiving. One might think the library would be closed the night before Thanksgiving as most people would not be needing library services. I can see us being open until 5pm. I can see us being open until 6pm. But 9pm? I understand the whole taxpayer thing but are we really an essential service? Isn't it more wasteful to pay a whole bunch of people too much money to remain open for the few who absolutely positively need to check their myspace accounts?

I'm not bitter.

Quite honestly it's really not that big of a deal. My plans for tomorrow involve being conscious and presentable by 1pm to attend the Berghoef Thanksgiving Extravaganza at the Beechwood. And really that's not the main event. Post Erin being able to hang out with a huge family, a hike in the Dunes is planned. And post that I'm making my favorite vegetarian "meat"loaf, mashed potatoes, sauteed beet greens, my new vegetarian gravy and hopefully a somewhat healthy green bean casserole. And maybe some black olives from a can. Why black olives from a can? It's an Erin Davison holiday favorite food memory. I only wish I had the cutglass dish my Mom used to put them in and place directly next to my place at the table.

I love black olives from a can.
