I haven’t written here for a while and that makes it hard to start, but now sitting in a coffee shop drinking my usual mint tea is the best time to start.

- We had two of our old friends visiting us for the thanksgiving week. It was really fun. I remember once one of my friends quoted from Gone with the Wind that meeting an old friend is like taking off your dance shoes after a long dance. It truly feels that way.

- For thanksgiving we went to Hartford to another friend’s house. I had the best turkey there. Unlike most turkeys I had before it wasn’t bland, but very tasty. We then went to Boston for another day-after-thanksgiving party. A lot of good food, music and good company.

- When we got home after the Boston trip I found out that I had left my backpack there. The backpack was not important but my laptop was in it. So I was without my laptop for a whole week. I was lucky that our hosts were visiting NYC and I got my laptop finally.
