The holidays are hard work. I’m finally beginning to realize this. Between the shopping, decorating, and rush rush rush feelings, a whole lot of effort goes into prepping for a cold night in December. Now that it’s finally here, and most of my stuff has been taken care of, I guess I can enjoy it. I just wish it was more fun getting here.
The #1 ranked Fighting Illini basketball team continued its dominance over every other team it’s played when we beat Mizzou at the Border War game Wednesday night. Mom, Aaron, Tony and I went and had a great time. We met up with Josh, Sarah and Chad and Company afterwards. I’m still drinking water recovering. Earlier that day, I went to the Casino Queen in STL and lost all my Christmas money. But, I got to lose it at $2 craps, and that’s pretty great.
Winston is doing well. The week I’ve been home I’ve played nursemaid and chauffer for him to his different doctors and events. He just had another dose of chemo yesterday and is hanging low right now, but he’ll be okay.
I should go and get things ready for tonight/tomorrow. Happy Christmas blog fans!

Is there something you’re not sharing?
BTW, word wrap doesn’t work in this comment box..
Ok, get this…
When you enable full text instead of summary for the RSS feed, my RSS reader (Thunderbird) gets a plain text version of each post. However, when I enable summary version, my reader gets the full webpage view of the post, it seems the summary version must just point to the actual permalink of each entry.
Kind of weird, I have not looked into it much to see the difference. I was wondering how it appears in Trillian? Does Trillian do full HTML support of RSS feeds?
When you enable the full text instead of just the summary in Wordpress’s RSS feed, it puts the short summary in the description container and puts the full text in content:encoded
Thunderbird can be configured to do either the text summary or load the page as a website. It can be configured globally, or per feed, so it probably depends more how you have it configured than how WP does things.
