A Lefty Writes

I'm back in Boston after a successful Thanksgiving. I ate more this week than I have over the past month. It was all very good, of course, but I don't forsee many large meals are in my immediate future.

And of course I can't forget to commemorate Aliza's first Thanksgiving in the bible belt. At one point she was informed by my cousin that our feast would feature a cameo by the Klan as they rafted down the Alabama river (this was not, in fact, true). She ate her first collard greens and experienced grits at Waffle House. She also managed to keep her head straight while meeting my many cousins, which is a feat in and of itself.

I also got to see my former roommates Afsheen, Gwen, and Paddington. Unfortunately we were only able to meet for a few hours last night, as I spent much of my time in Alabama.

All in all, it was a great trip. I'm kind of worn out, since we spent so much of the time going from one event to the next, but it was well worth it. And it's not like I have a job right now so I can rest this week (while I hit the job search hardcore).

I took a bunch of pictures that you can see in the gallery. I hope everyone else had a good week as well. I know I owe some phone calls and emails, so I'll work on that over the next few days.
