Happy Thanksgiving

Let's ignore the fact that no one's reading this and that it's been updated once in the past year. Trivial facts.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of this blog's dedicated readers. We are headed to Maryland, where it is slated to rain as much as it's been raining in St. Louis the last month, which is a lot.

Things are chugging along in St. Louis. We finally attended our first hockey game here last week, when the Blues took down the Phoenix Coyotes (Winnipeg Jets) 17 seconds into overtime. We saw Phantom of the Opera at the Fox Theater, which takes me back to my days as a spoiled brat growing up in CT, when my parents tried to take me to a performance of that for my birthday and I pretty much whined until they turned the car around. Sorry, Mom and Dad. And we've seen a couple of plays at SLU, which have been ... interesting?

Courtney is halfway done with her five years of indentured servitude, er, graduate school, and I'm still gainfully employed, and there's something to be said for that. After Thanksgiving, we'll be looking forward to a trip to Mexico over Christmas with my family, and then a trip down to Oklahoma in early January.
