I hope that you had a pleasant Thanksgiving holiday. I certainly did. Spent all four days in Los Angeles with family and friends. It is always good to see Kirsten, Aaron, Brian, Amy, Robert, and the various others we encountered this weekend. I spent time trolling about Venice Beach and Hollywood, leading a more interesting life than I usually do as a desert dweller. Los Angeles has its drawbacks, but I miss it. Of course, I mostly miss the people I've left behind.
