Comments(2) [No, I am not at home with my family for Thanksgiving today. The reason is because there is no point in spending $400 now to go home for a weekend and then another $400 again a few weeks later to stay for a month at Christmas. I miss my family, of course, but waiting a few more weeks for a longer stay is fair to me and saving money appeals to my “cash register for a heart.” Also, having time off from courses allows me to work hardcore on term papers and my own research projects, time permitting. I am working on one right now for Rhetoric and Poetics with Eminem, my great motivator, playing on my computer.
For those of you at home keeping score, let’s review what we learned about me:
- I will be home for Christmas break.
- I possess a “cash register for a heart.”
- I am a work-a-holic.
- I listen to Eminem.
Happy Thanksgiving! BK]

You should have come to Thanksgiving at my house, but we got our invitation out too late, I guess, or you felt you didn’t know me well enough. Cash register for a heart–interesting.
Dr. Killingsworth, I remember seeing your invitation and I thought hard about RSVPing to it. I appreciate any social invitation that comes my way, but I dislike interrupting family get-togethers out of respect. My work-a-holicism also beat my social desires into submission as I worked on my term papers. Maybe next year, though.
