"Last week I asked two students to come saw my wood so I could chop it."
Watch out, Carrie, isn't that how that teacher on Dawson's Creek got in trouble? I am responding to your desparate plea for Web postings (even though I just emailed you) because it's Thanksgiving night and I am relaxing to the sound of the police scanner in the comfort of my N&A cubicle. But I guess I can be thankful that I don't have any below-zero-degree weather to contend with. Glad you got to share a Thanksgiving meal over there. What is the Mongolian commercial-Christmas culture like? Will people be rushing to Ger-Mart at 5am on Black Friday? Have Christmas-tree sales posts cropped up along the frozen countryside? Well, at least you can skip out on the retail-holiday B.S. and just celebrate not being frozen. (Just think, if you were still our biz reporter you'd be preparing to write the perennial day-after-Thanksgiving piece.) I am proud of what you're doing, keep on with the "bring it" attitude and keep sending us your adventure stories.
