You people are just mean!!

"Hark! what light through yonder window breaks?"

Oh Bella, Bella, Bella...it's all in good fun. Please feel free to mock my neck of the woods. I'm from a tiny logging town in Oregon (Or-a-gun) and if you have ever seen the show 'Ax Men' you know from whence I came.

I'm looking forward to pumpkin pie. I make the crust and my wife (who I'll refer to hereafter as Corvina) makes the filling. Pumpkin pie is hands down the favourite desert in my house.
It is also the favourite breakfast.

...and lunch and midnight snack...

About 30 years ago, I saw an abbreviated cycle of Medieval mystery plays on the campus of Belmont College in Nashville (now Belmont Univ., site of one of last year's Presidential debates). A visiting prof from England had directed it. When he got to the Second Shepherds' Play, he had the actors substitute an East TN accent for the (Lancashire? Yorkshire?) accent in the original text. It was quite a hit with the audience. We can have a sense of humor about ourselves.

I could live off of pumpkin pie. I don't even use a fork. I eat it like pizza.

An interesting side note to A Christmas Carol. There is a story about where Dickens got the idea for his Scrooge character put forth in the book Edinburgh: City of the Dead by Jan-Andrew Henderson, a Scottish author and haunted Edinburgh walks tour guide:

Pumpkin is good for you. Don't wait to pay a prostate specialist. Eat more pumpkin pie!

You know what they say: If you can't laugh at yourself don't worry, someone else will.

Dies from shock of hell holiday syndrome...

Hahaha Andy. I'm in Indiana.

Oregon is beautiful. I stayed up around Seattle for awhile with some friends, and we saw a litle of it.

I like to say that Oregon is a nice place to be from...
