all things upon us
Wrap-up season is just around the corner. I'll be posting the best games, music and movies of 2005 in this space as the month progresses. So if you like lists, and you like ideas from people you don't know, stick around.

Dunn Bros. was cancelled due to an ice storm, so to speak. There was inclement weather preventing folks from going for simple safety's sake, but there was also a different kind of storm brewing. A patron of the coffee shop didn't care for some of the previous week's words, and filed a complaint with the corporate office. This surprised me as I didn't know Dunn Bros. had a corporate office. The rallying cry went out to a) tone down work for a while and b) write/read pieces with free speech themes.
The readings are promoted in advance as free-speech events, and that folks who don't care for it are welcome to stay or go, as they please. The manager of the place has been extremely accomodating and supportive of the readings, which is why it's a little diappointing that one person (in all the months they've been doing readings there) can cause such a straightening of spines.
My hope is that everything will blow over and we can resume our normal path, which is not to worry about what anyone might say.

The tree is up, lit and decorated; the gifts are all wrapped and happy in the nestling space; the weather went wintry on us for two days; I don't know about you, but I want to fast-forward to the holidays.
