Okay, Joe - I won't play catch-up, but here's today's:

- H sat with his arm around me on the sofa the other day (PT is my love language)
- H is being responsible about family finances as he approaches a radical career change he is making (with my full support)
- H is a brilliant and very capable guy who will be successful in his new endeavor


S19 was home for Thanksgiving, it was great to see him. We did some organic chemistry studying together (!) as he needs to pull up his grade in that class, and needs to learn how to study SMARTER not harder. (No, I don't really remember that much organic chemistry anymore, even though I once taught in at a junior college, but I remember enough to steer him to ask the right questions, even if I don't know the answers. Usually a small nudge from me and he'll get "unstuck" and figure it out himself).

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner, if I do say so myself. I'm a good baker, but not that great a cook, so it has taken me a few years (um...like 25?) to get from my first dry turkey to today's level of expertise, but I think I've finally got it!!! The 22 lb. turkey came out moist and tender, the gravy wasn't lumpy, and the curried pumpkin soup was a hit as always.
