Well, Thanksgiving is over, we had 5 visitors staying with us and Linda was at my parents and they came over for Thanksgiving as well. It was great and I can strongly recommend the Alton Brown Turky Brining recipe! What a moist, tasty turkey. That said I just dropped the Peers off, and this morning I dropped off Amanda, Jessica’s cousin, at 5:40 or so. Wow.

I’m pooped simply because of all of the activity. We unfortunately got only one game of Risk in, which is sad, but we did play some Yahtzee and Scrabble. I think I’m ready for a break. Except that we’re continuing on in the busy season as Wednesday I fly to Texas for some meetings until Sunday the 4th, and then after that I come home and 10 days later we fly to Washington to start the Christmas festivities. Dang. The holidays are instantiated but I’ve been so busy hosting that the participative part hasn’t settled in yet.

It was nice to get some time with various folks this last week but I didn’t get enough time with my father-in-law, father or mother. I figure that I’ll never have enough time, but I’ll try!
