It’s that time of year again, when all the good boys and girls lie awake wishing and waiting and wondering: what will The Eyeglass Fairy leave on my kitchen counter today?

What? Oh. Maybe that’s just us.

One of my favorite things about small-town rural life is that you can go to the store, come back, and find strange unmarked gifts in your house. This is what happens when you live someplace where no one locks their doors. I freakin’ love it.

It didn’t take us long to figure out where they came from. The man has a killer collection, and upstate NY is really no place for a man to be wearing big vintage sunglasses…or is it…

I’d like to start NaVloPoMo off with a bang. For those who don’t know, NaVloPoMo is the video 1st cousin to the NaBloPoMo which itself is the half-brother of NaNoWriMo. Every day for a month? Pretty much the only thing I’m sure to do every day is brush my teeth (twice), but I want to give it a whirl! Today’s little video contains not only titles (gasp!) but also editing (whoa, Sister!) AND a special guest appearance! It’s like sweeps week, or something!

Not all NaVloPoMo-a-GoGo will receive such royal treatment. In fact, NaVloPoMo may have some gaps along the way and end up more like NoMoVloPoSo (No More Vlog Posts, Sorry). But dammit, I want to try.

The election results gave me a serious case of happy feet…but the Rumsfeld resignation made my head spin! I am rarely moved by The Power of Dance; I have been known to dance at weddings and also when I bring home a sack of White Castle cheeseburgers.

The resignation of Secretaries of Defenses can now be added to my short list of dance-worthy occasions…or flail-worthy occasions. Flailing followed by brief, sweaty, political commentary.

And yes, my neck really, really really hurts today.
