Fuckers...
I can't wait until I get an academia job. I'm going to rip down the system FROM THE INSIDE!!!

I hear you Ben. One of my sons had a geography project AND an essay that were assigned last Weds and due on Tuesday (today). Talking about fucking up a family weekend. He's only in Grade 8 ffs. I have a half a mind to go into the school and have a little discussion with that twerp of a teacher.
Finding bristle board and researching the Russian settlement of Siberia while preparing for Thanksgiving dinner aside, we had lots of food. There was turkey and ribs at my mother's place out in Whitby. Fall colours haven't hit the Beaches/Danforth area of Toronto yet, but they are starting (just barely) in Whitby. the suddenly cooler weather sure helped it *feel* more like thanksgiving season, so we were thankful for that !
