Our soundtrack so far

Me: Inside Llewyn Davies
Him: Long Black Veil
Him: John McCutcheon, "Kindergarten Wall" ("Of all that you learn here remember this the best: Don't hurt each other and clean up your mess")
Him: Leonard Cohen, "Everybody Knows"

Daughter: "The emotional whiplash over here is killing me."

Pumpkin, pecan pies done; rolls rising; wax beans snapped and blanched; turkey broth simmering; turkey salted and herbed; garlic dressing made. These tasks are distributed among the family, so I'm hoping nobody will be too exhausted to enjoy dinner.

To go: bake rolls, turkey; mash potatoes; warm wax beans in butter; toss salad. DEVOUR.

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate, and if you're looking for something global to be thankful for, Colombia and the FARC rebels have signed a peace treaty. This one doesn't have to be affirmed by referendum.

I did. It's not a holiday here, but it was my day off and I had lunch with my dad.
