Can’t do thanksgiving on thursday because the kids are in school on Friday, but it’s also Oren’s birthday so we have to celebrate, so we thought of  Saturday Night.  But there’s also school on Sunday and there are exams.  Ultimately the only evening we can stay up late is Friday – and Friday is not a time when we can do karaoke and make noise.  So we did karaoke on Saturday night, even though a morning physics test shortened the evening. 

I might have told you that we went looking for a turkey but could only find an enormous turkey breast.  Turned out it worked better than any other whole turkey thanksgiving.

And there is more to be thankful for this year than the last few years.  Even though our leaders are driving us quite mad, and we’re forgetting all the values and traditions that are important to us, we will recover and return.  The hostages that returned help me believe all the time that this is possible.
