Happy Great American Civic Culture Autumnal Festival and Commercial Orgy!

I put up my Great American Civic Culture Autumnal Festival and Commercial Orgy tree this weekend. It's a black plastic tree with orange lights, a garland of gold and yellow metallic leaves, a teddy bear with a Santa cap holding a pumpkin at the base, and topped off by a little turkey (with others decorating the tree). This neo-pagan orgy of commercialism and consumption is celebrated from October 1 through December 25 (with a gluttonous belch on December 31-January 1).

And a Merry Gaccafestco to all!

Without Steve Jobs' vision, you quite possibly wouldn't be reading this.

"Death is very likely the best invention of life. All pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important." 

-- Steve Jobs
