Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax

Maybe I should just come back tomorrow

It's Thanksgiving in Canada.

And of course, Columbus Day in the U.S.

I'm at work, celebrating nothing. I didn't get enough sleep, and lemme just say that I don't have "Mark Brunell jersey" on my Christmas list. And if that guy here at the office, the one from New York who now roots for the Ravens and hates all things Washington, if he says one freaking word to me today...well, I'm just hoping he forgets that we don't observe federal holidays and he doesn't show up. Oh, and the coffee shop is closed, because it's in a federal building. And I took the Metro so I don't have a car. Do you see where this is going today? No coffee. No food. No sleep. It isn't going to be pretty...
