Thanksgiving and things

This year, I spent Thanksgiving in Colorado with my family for the first time in 15 years...

I don't usually go home for Thanksgiving because my family likes to spend Christmas together -- but, this year, my brother and his wife will spend Christmas with her Dad's side of the family in Georgia so, in order for our whole family to be together during the holiday season, Thanksgiving was our chance.  

It was strange to go back to a traditional American Thanksgiving after the mismatch of diners, road trips, Friendsgivings, Asian Thanksgivings, and Portuguese Thanksgivings that have made up my California smörgåsbord of Thanksgiving experiences.  Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, family, snow, football... it was all just the same as I remembered it.  Pretty boring with a lot of food I don't really care for... :) 

But, I have to say, the rest of the weekend with my family was quite nice.  :)  


As far as the "and things" goes, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder was one of the best shows I've seen in a very long time and I think the best comedy I've ever seen.  It was delightful, creative, innovative, and brilliantly performed.  !!  I absolutely loved it!!
