I was in a festive jolly holiday mood today, and of course, nothing reminds me of the Pilgrims 'n' Indians 'n' the bounty of the harvest quite so much as a big plate of kung pao chicken and a steamy bowl of hot and sour soup!
Actually, I'm just hoping all the pepper will open up my head a bit.
BE THAT AS IT MAY, it is time for that part of my lunch you all so enjoy.
First up, this gem of wisdom: "Take a break from your usual routine and enjoy yourself."
Why, those sneaky ChiComs are trying to damage American productivity by telling me to relax! WELL, IT WON'T WORK! I'm gonna finish lunch and then fold letters and stuff envelopes AND compose a 10,000 word essay on the global geopolitical implications of eraser crumbs! So THERE!
Next up, this: "Remember the past to help you in the future." Well, dangitall, they might be sneaky but they are very wise--I just wish I'd read this before I went to lunch, because I forgot that I brought my lunch today, and it's in the refrigerator feeling lonely and neglected now. Poor lunch.
Oh well, there's always tomorrow, which I consider to be the future.
TODAY'S LUCKY NUMBERS:

and
