Time to feast

[RM]

I see it's Thanksgiving in Canada. I hope all reaped a bountiful personal harvest this past year, and the day is indeed joyous.

(Still no football ?)

The Argos suck as do the Leafs as did The Jays. The Raptos aren't that great either. Their bountiful harvests never happened. same old same old.

Personally the harvest came in for me in several ways and hopefully things will continue that way.

Giving thanks for many things, one being that Lightfoot is still doing his stage show and is still healthy and that Orillia and Massey are coming up fast.

Toronto Sun writer Liz Braun gives thanks in yesterday's paper:

Liz Braun: 1. The blissful time spent reading Too Much Happiness, the latest collection of short stories by Alice Munro. I'm also grateful the next filmmaker (after Sarah Polley) to take a crack at adapting Munro's work is Jane Campion, who intends to make a version of Runaway.

2. Robert Downey Jr. thriving. That's a more positive thought than one concerning Roman Polanski in jail finding out for himself about forcible confinement and unwanted sexual advances.

3. The Kardashian family, for if they did not exist, it would be necessary to invent them.

4. My own personal pair of 3D glasses for when Avatar finally opens.

5. That the Private Lives of Pippa Lee is a good movie. It opens in November. Rebecca Miller wrote the novel it's based on and she directed the movie; since Miller has to drag around all that baggage of being playwright Arthur Miller's daughter and actor Daniel Day Lewis' wife, you can't help rooting for her.

6. The cruelly funny Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis (on funnyordie.com). My favourite is the slap fest with Bradley Cooper.

7. That Robin Wright Penn finally figured out how to lose Sean Penn without losing face. Good job.

8. The existence of Chelsea Lately. Almost makes it worthwhile to have a television.

9. That the nooks and crannies at my local Chapters make it possible to sneakily speed read Art In America and W without anyone noticing. That's terrible, isn't it?

10. That Gordon Lightfoot (photo) returns to Toronto's Massey Hall in November. There was that ribbon of darkness over the whole country a few years ago when it briefly seemed our Gordon might not play anywhere ever again. That's all over. Whew.
