Thanksgiving

This thanksgiving was really different  from others that i have had over the years. I decided to head over to my Grandpa's for a hunting trip. Being that it was just two guys, we didn't have the big home cooked meal that I am used to. We just bought one of those frozen turkey dinner things, and surprisingly it was really good. As far as the hunting went. I got a big doe, didn't get the buck i wanted but hey it all worked out in the end. So ya almost the polar opposite of what usually happens at thanksgiving. Only downside of the whole thing was the drive over to Billings. Probably the hardest and scariest driving i have ever done or ever seen for that matter.

The Cathedral

This story was very weird, both in how it was written and just the story itself. I do however think the blindness metaphor is the same as a lot of the others i have heard. The ones who cant see are usually the ones who see the best, or something along those lines. The ending really confused me, and I still don't really get it. I mean did he make him blind? Or did he just finally come to understand the metaphor i mentioned earlier? Only part i didn't like about the whole blindness thing was how cliche it was. A man who really kinda hates blind people comes to "see" what they do? Come on, who hasn't heard that one before.
