Hi everyone, welcome back. My Thanksgiving break report:


Much turkey was eaten, along with generous helpings of stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, squash mash, carrot cake, and apple pie. Trader Joe's Rosencrunch and Guildenpop was also consumed in large quantity.

Work problems faded with the assistance of distance and some really great wine.

I missed the fantastic singer-songwriter cage match on Wednesday at the way-too-small-for-that-gig Bishop's Lounge. Congratulations to winner Henning!

My Wednesday-night drive to NJ took about 6 hours. I was prepared, and stress-free.

A dog was extra-loved by people who don't get to see her daily.

Major points were awarded to a person who gave me flowers.

Crafts were made. See Craftytown for more on that.

Movies watched: The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, multiple episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm (hilarious), Scarface

Continuous hours slept the night after Thanksgiving dinner: 11.5


All in all, it was a very successful holiday time. I hope yours was the same.
