Turkey

So Thanksgiving was pretty good. The past couple of years I've skipped going home to Massachusetts (since I'm there for Christmas anyway), but this year I drove up with my brother for a few days of family fun. There was a great deal of excellent food, as you might expect, and it was as always good to get away from both the city and the almighty Internets for a bit. I even made progress on the ever-changing stack of unread books that lives in my apartment. And on our way back to New York, we made a pilgrimage to Trader Joe's - one without the sort of lines that could consume the entirety of a human life.

As it happens, today is Chris's birthday. So those of you who know him should go ahead and drop him an email - I strongly encourage you all to refer to him as "Old Man Brown" whenever possible. "Crazy Old Man Brown" is also acceptable. (As in: "That there ball went into Crazy Old Man Brown's back yard! Run, Timmy!")
