It's Thanksgiving Eve. Stressed out from a super heavy workload, and from the prospect of spending time with family and all the difficulty it represents. Going out tonight to blow off steam, and working on Friday, so I'm not sure what the family time will be like. I always dread the worst in the hopes that I'll be surprised that it's not that bad. This time is no different. Seems highly unlikely that it will be good. And that makes the stress worse. Sigh. Happy Thanksgiving.

A chance to listen to the radio for a bit more than usual, in fact something I rarely have time for, yielded some good tunes, both old and new. Life continues to be about as busy as it can get. Thanksgiving and the holidays are around the corner. Some of these songs carry specific meaning to me, others caught my ear and seemed worth the listen and noting that I liked them.

(Flagpole Sitta of course contains the unforgettable and oh so appropriate lyric "... been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding...")
