Star Trek till all hours of the morning is just not healthy, but like eating Pringles, I just cannot stop.  Oh, well, the marathon ends shortly, and then its on to its normal schedule, 11:00pm ET on Tvland.  When I first heard they were going to remaster and enhance the episodes, I was not happy, but after watching many hours, I can say that in my opinion, they did a good job and delivered what they promised.

Thanksgiving is upon us.  That means Food, Football, Parades, Christmas musac, and of course the biggie Christmas shopping!  I am not sure why the day after Thanksgiving has become the star performer and most important day in retailing, but out here in the land of stirp malls, and malls in general, the troops are already gearing up.  In my email today was my sneak preview of Thanksgiving sales from one of the large local superstores.  My thoughts are lower your prices all year and don't save the sales for now.  Ba-humbug...

Don't get me wrong, I love this season, I love the lights, the fellowship, the joy, and the sprituality (for some), that starts with Thanksgiving and ends at Christmas.  I can do without a month of Christmas Musac, reminders of how many shopping days to Christmas, and all of the commercial junk that has become attached to both holidays.  I just feel that if we got back to the meaning of the holidays, that we as a country would be in a better place.
