Even with pneumonia, today is indeed a great day.

WEEKEND REWIND!

March 2006, the first post-Katrina Mardi Gras. Join The Three Genes for some good clean Mardi Gras fun. FYI the near-constant interruption by Ray Nagin was provided courtesy of Gene3 (aka MichaelGene) and his “Mayor in your Pocket” key chain, a popular local novelty at the time.

The first annual New Kingston Film Festival premiers Saturday, July 26, 2008 at the Lipko Barn! You know, the one across from the big field with the red London telephone booth in it. No, seriously. I’m not making that up. There’s a phone booth in it.

Come by and enjoy shorts, documentaries and features hand-selected with loving care by us! Feel the warm Catskillian breeze blow through your hair(s)! Feast on good eats! I personally guarantee that if you come to the festival you’ll fall so in love with it here that you’ll want to stay the rest of your natural life.

(I may have overdone it with that last line…maybe I should get a job with the Delaware County Department of Tourism?)

I was going to close NaVloPoMo with a deep, meaningful post about what I’ve learned over the course of the month, and all the cool new videoblogs I’ve been introduced to this November, and the amazing stuff people have put together, but instead I figured I’ll just offer up something I shot the other day. I highly suggest checking out the Ning NaVloPoMo group, or just hop over to blip.tv or mefeedia and search of the tag ‘NaVloPoMo07′ for a giant collection of video treats.

Alas, I cannot go to The Winnies. Dire financial straits and screwy work scheduling keeps me from all the fun and frivolity happening in LA on this fine day. I have to admit, when I woke up this morning I thought “I should just fly out today with the money I’ve been saving for a car since I didn’t get my &$%#@*& license yesterday!” but then realized that I had to work tonight, anyhow.

So here I am, in the green sparkling dress I would have worn, giving a well-deserved Winnie to a fine, upstanding member of the videoblogging family.

Another Thanksgiving Day has passed us by. With all those friends, loved ones and food, one day is not enough! I think Thanksgiving should be a week-long national holiday (but with the banks open. And also the Post Office).

‘Round our house, Thanksgiving lasts until the last scrap of turkey is gone.
