Well, we're off to spend the holidays with my in-laws who live in the tiny town of Spirit Lake, WI; they've graciously invited us to share their Thanksgiving Day meal with them, and stay in their very nice rental cabin. Their old farm sits on a couple-hundred acres of some of the prettiest countryside in Wisconsin, but since hunting season is in full swing this week, I won't be venturing outdoors without a Kevlar vest and a bright-orange ensemble, and I certainly won't be taking any strolls through the woods.

I'll leave you with a couple of links I posted here last year that I think are fantastic, and deserve another look:

Gene Deitch's 1948 cartoon satire of jazz-record collectors, The Cat.

Had enough of The Man? Check out blaxploitation.com, the definitive web resource for aficionados of the genre.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
