We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year. In attendance were 15 adults, 6 children, and 1 newborn baby.
After the fact, a few of our guests were kind enough to send us some thank you text messages. One even sent us a handwritten, mailed thank you note. I'd say his parents raised him right.
Unless the person is a professional baker, their homemade rolls will never, ever beat the awesome ease of the Pillsbury Crescent rolls. It kills me to admit that though.
Next time we do Thanksgiving dinner, we need to make sure there are enough mashed potatoes to have some leftover.
I ran a Turkey Trot 5k race on the morning of Thanksgiving (26:12 yo!). Five of my friends had originally said they'd run it with me. But come race day, only one of my friends actually showed up - she went most of the distance with me, despite just getting over the friggin' stomach flu. Folks like her are the ones that make the world go 'round. People who do what they say they're going to do are terribly underrated.
Saw the excellent movie "Lincoln." My favorite film reviewer is A.O. Scott from the NYT, and he gave it 4 stars, which he rarely does. He says "See it. Take your kids to see it." (School-aged kids is what I think he really means.)
Tomorrow I leave for a trip to Boston to see one of my BFF's (and I'll be doing a bit of work, but mostly a lot of play). See you next week!

Safe travels. Enjoy Boston. Such a fun town. Holler at me if you head up to Portland.
I've never quite understood the not doing something you say you'll do concept. Usually there was no gun to one's head. "No" was an option. So why say yes only to not do it later? Inefficient! Congrats on the nice Turkey Trot time, by the way.
