North Korea has shelled a South Korean island, killing military personnel and civilians while petulantly shrieking that the South Koreans are driving them to the brink of war; President Obama received twelve stitches to his lip after being elbowed during a basketball game with family members and friends; after the European Union stepped in with a huge loan to bail out insolvent Irish banks, the European debt crisis is escalating as Spain and Portugal teeter on the brink of bankruptcy; according to a report submitted to the Federal Election Commission, the Republican party has already spent $636,800 - 18 times the amount spent in a comparable period four years ago - on its convention for the 2012 presidential election; and the unstoppable terpsichorean team of Jennifer Gray and Derek Hough finally edged out Bristol Palin and Kyle Massey to win season 11 of Dancing with the Stars.

But now it's time to put Thanksgiving behind us (yes, including on the backside!) and start getting ready for Christmas. There's the annual letter to be written, cards to be addressed and mailed, gifts to be purchased, decorations to be put up, cookies to be baked, and ...I think I'll go back to bed.
Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.
