november in a flash.

Once again I find myself at the end of a month, wondering where the previous weeks went. It’s the end of Thanksgiving break, and the beginning of the end of the year known as 2007. Thanksgiving was awesome, having been spent alternating between family, friends and girlfriend, and it’s been a good month, though anti-social.

Anyway, in honor of the original intent of this new dkoo dot net blog (of writing about things in which people might have a vague iota of interest), allow me to wax ecstatic about Shake Shack. If you live in or around the tri-state area, there’s almost no doubt that you’ve heard of this place, probably even waited 40 minutes in line at least once to get your hands on one of their renowned cheeseburgers. During this summer, Frankie and I established a somewhat irregular tradition of visiting Shake Shack as much as possible (this amounted to about five times in total, but that’s more than most invented traditions that my friends and I establish). If you’re not convinced, I will state that Frankie was a vegetarian for most of time I’ve known her — but she abandoned the veg lifestyle in favor of Shake Shack’s messy, beefy goodness. Anyway, this Saturday marked what is likely to be the final Shake Shack outing this year, as they’re about to close for the winter.
