So, I was thinking.
I know that this is technically Chicago, and we technically don't need to justify the celebration of Thanksgiving, and I don't know if the Wanderer community here already does something for the whole Thanksgiving thing, but this is my first Thanksgiving in Chicago, and I was pondering the spirit of the holiday in all it's food eating and football watching, and I realized that of all the foot-eating and football watching holidays that this one is probably the most appropriate for our current situation.
I mean, there's the Wanderers, who are kind of like the pilgrims, in they're coming here, and they have to adjust and figure things out, and maybe occasionally get chased by a monster or two, and then the locals are kind of like the Native Americans where they help us learn, and adjust, and survive.
It's like the first Thanksgiving, but less with the farming and the communicable diseases -- mostly -- and more with cars and ovens and grocery stores.
Which leads me to what I was thinking. I'm going to hold a Thanksgiving. A potluck, because I'm so not a cook, though I will bring the turkey, and the pie. I don't know where yet, but I'll scope out some local places after work, or maybe I'll just take over the cafeteria downstairs or something.
Everyone is invited. RSVP here with what you're bringing, and I'll see you on Thursday.
