Oh, Canada

I partly am using this icon to remind myself that I need to take the fall leaves decor off our balcony and put out the red-and-silver stuff instead. Our balcony is pretty visible so I feel like I have to keep up. (I don't usually put up lights, though. Too much trouble. I just do garlands on the railing and a wreath on the balcony door.)

Somebody mentioned baseball in their post and that reminds me that I got chided for rooting for the Blue Jays in the World Series - they're not American. I was like, whatever. First of all, since the Astros are in the American League* these days, I tend to be more familiar with AL teams. And also, I habitually root against any team with a ridiculously high payroll - mostly meaning I refuse to root for the Dodgers or the Yankees. And also, look at a map - Toronto is barely further north than Milwaukee. I have trouble thinking of them as "foreign" even if they do speak French sometimes.

I started this post when it was still Dec. 1st, and now December 3rd is already over and it's still not posted. This may end up being a lot of really short entries, but that's ok, right?

*There's also the point that the Blue Jays also play in the American League, so I guess MLB agrees with me?
