November 20, 2008: Well, it’s finally happened. J-Kerm has abandoned me to spend Thanksgiving with her family out of state. I am left for the next nine days to my own foibles. Abandoned with my own thoughts. Anything can happen. Perhaps Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci will try to break into my house. Perhaps I’ll figure out if you can eat enough frozen pizza to go completely blind. Perhaps I’ll finally finish Dead Space. Hopefully, you will be entertained, as I spend the next nine days descending slowly into a feral state. Will I run out of underwear? Possibly? Will I starve to death? No, I’ve been preparing for that contingency. Will I be able to complete my beeramid before I die? Possibly. But I do know one thing. I will keep you posted as to what happens when one man is left to his own devices.
