Kel!
Happy American Thanksgiving! Do you have an equivalent holiday there? And is it as big a deal there as it is here? And is the day afterwards (today) the biggest shopping day of the year?
This post was amusing. I enjoy the fact that the footsie incident occurred in my hometown of Minneapolis, MN. And that the airport subsequently spent a good portion of a million dollars to lower the crapper partitions all the way to the floor in all their bathrooms. All these people are incredible.
I'm in Roswell, New Mexico, by the way, if I haven't already mentioned. Things are great. I'll be moving to Yonkers, NY soon (a suburb of Manhattan). Holler at your pal.
Will
Will,
How lovely to hear from you after all this time!
We have no equivalent to Thanksgiving Day over here, but I hope you are having a good one!
And when you move to Manhattan, you will be moving to my favourite place in the whole world!
Keep in touch my friend! It's good to hear that things as so positive in your world, after all the ups and downs...
Happy Thanksgiving!
Kel.
Ups and downs indeed, Kel, indeed.
Of course, I knew you would answer my stupid question about a British Thanksgiving with class and forgiveness for my apparent ignorance. Obviously there is no English version of Thanksgiving, but as you well know, my view of world history is so stridently skeptical that I question many of our most basic assumptions. I mean come on: a bunch of pilgrims and some Wampanoag Injuns dining on turkeys together in a spirit of lasting love and friendship? I believe it happened, surely, somewhere, somehow, but it was probably a little white family get-together and a couple of down-and-out Native bums they felt sorry for. Someone at the table had a knack for writing and access to the town newspapers. Let the little dinner blossom into a fairytale and you've got yourself some world history. Just speculating, of course, but that's what I do. That is. What. I. Do. And then I throw the speculations around for verification. And then I'm still skeptical. This, you see, is why I got out of politics for the most part. Me and politics are like two facing mirrors: an infinity of second-guessing.
So Manhattan is your favorite place in the whole world? Me too, man. Me too. Love it to pieces. I'm excited to be moving to Yonkers. I can hop a Metro North for $3 and be at Grand Central Terminal in half an hour. Of course, with the way the dollar is inflating, that train fare should be up around $50 in a couple of days. A wheelbarrow full of wishing well pennies for a trip into town. I don't care. It's a good place to live, and if I stay, it'll be a good place to die (a century hence, God willing.)
Wonderful to see you going strong. You're one helluva dedicated blogger. I appreciate what you do. Check out anothermanstreasures.blogspot.com. It's my latest in a long line of Attention Deficit Disorder-inspired flings with blog culture - a mostly-photograph-centric chronicle of my time here in the Southwestern United States. A different culture it is, here, than on the East Coast. (This invite is for your eyes only, and for the eyes of anyone who has dared to read this far into the comments section of this post.)
Peace, Kel, and again: great to see you here. We all really do exist.
Will
Will,
When I think of the United States it is always New York that pops into my mind. It's not only the atmosphere of brilliant places like Gramercy Park, but it's the people as well. New York is so like London in the way that it is actually a state of mind as much as it is a place. And I thought it typical that in New York - the very place the terrorists struck on 9-11 - that there should have been protests on the streets against the Iraq war. You gotta love people who are that far sighted and together and fair.
And yes, remarkably, The Osterley Times is still going strong. I was sad to see Bhc hang up his blogging gloves over at Anything They Say. That was a sad loss.
And I will go to the new site and have a look around. As it is for my eyes only I presume you don't want a link to it in the sidebar? I'll presume that unless you inform me otherwise.
I am so jealous that you are actually going to live in such a stunning place! Enjoy, my friend, enjoy!
