Just a New York shout-out of Happy Thanksgiving to you all out there with a very, very New York view.

Our little footballer is down this weekend. She started running a fever Saturday afternoon and has been completely out of it since. Poor dear. Like bigger kids (and adults, I guess), this is the most TV she has ever watched. I hope she doesn’t get addicted. Pray for her quick recovery please. Thank you!

It is no secret that I’ve been looking forward to the DVD release of Star Trek since, well, the film opened early this summer. But when the wife and I were randomly flipping through channels last night and the usual pre-release commercial for the DVD ran with the tagline “Own it this Tuesday,” I immediately thought, “wow….that’s tomorrow,” thinking that it was Monday night, November 16.

Today is not the 17th, nor last night the 16th. Since the onslaught of the day-after-day feeling of drowning in work and to-do lists that never end or never get finished—beginning when the acquisition occurred and which continues to snowball exponentially—I have slowly lost track of days. For a person who used to be able tell you the time of day—to the minute—if you asked hours into the day and hours since I last checked the time, this is quite troubling. Forget minutes, I’ve lost track of days.

What will I be losing next?

I miss a pint (or two) of Guinness after work each day. LOL!

EDIT: 24 November 2009 @ 9:54am — Star Trek was more awesome (yeah, that awesome) than I (and Simone) ever expected! The extras in a separate BD disc were equally filled with awesomeness!
