Last season, Saturday Night Live did a recurring filmed (non-live) sketch called "Bear City."  These clips were narrated by Fred Willard, and featured actors in bear costumes living life in a not-very-humorous way.  Which is to say, the skit wasn't that funny.

But for the past two days, the jingle: "Bear City! Bear Bear City!" has been echoing around in the vast chamber I call My Head.

Damn you, Bear City!

I mention all this for two reasons:

1. Because the damn song is stuck in my head and I can barely hear my own thoughts, what with this unceasing "Bear City" anthem pumping through my skull.

2. Because, given that today's the day before Thanksgiving, my head has written its own little parody of the "Bear City" theme song as: "Thanksgiving! Thanks Thanksgiving!"

It's a great parody.

Lauren and I are headed to Palm Springs tomorrow, for a desert Thanksgiving with horseback-riding, zoo-visiting, food-eating, and non-working. WOOHOO!
