Thanksgiving

Here in the US we have three more days until the Thanksgiving holiday. People fly all over the country to go home and see family. It is a time to give thanks to what we have.

I am thankful to have my health, a somewhat happy family, prospect of exciting work, and warm clothing for these cold LA days we have been having.

This year I am in charge of Thanksgiving dinner. I am totally unprepared to be cooking again after having not really cooked for the last 2 years. However, one has got to start sometime and this is as good a time as any. There was a butternut squash soup recipe that sounded really good and I will give that a shot. Other than the roast beef I will be making, I really don't have any idea of what to make. I have a day to come up with a menu.

The week after Thanksgiving I have to go to the San Francisco Bay Area to meet up with my old boss. He is going to introduce me to a online game company. It should be really exciting but I really did want to spend more time with my family. It has only been five days. The prospect of getting on to another plane is one that I don't really want to think about. Also, now because I have to fly up north in a week, I have to book plane tickets and I might not be able to go see 'Spring Awakening', which is okay.. I don't really know anything about it but I haven't been to a theater in a while and I do like the Ahmanson.

Well, breakfast calls.
