Jeepers, that was a long nap! I slept a whole MONTH! (My apologies to anyone who missed me at Darkover). It seems like just yesterday, or maybe at most a week ago, that it was Hallowe'en, but here it is almost Christmas already, and I've completely missed Thanksgiving! Stores already have Christmas decorations out and I'm hearing ads for Christmas albums on the television, and I don't see a lick of Thanksgiving-themed stuff, but I haven't figured out how I slept that long without having to get up to go to the bathroom even once. Also odd, my computers seem to have glitched, 'cause their clocks all say it's still early November, but that cannot be: obviously I've missed Thanksgiving somehow and slid right into the Christmas season. I know they can't have just done away with Thanksgiving without my hearing about it, because the day after Thanksgiving ("Black Friday") is so very important to merchants.

Somebody tell me what date it is so I can reset the clocks on my computers. All I know is that it must be December by now, based on what I see around me. Bit of a warm spell for December though.
