thanksgiving

[arguchik]

back from a 5-day thanksgiving trip to san francisco, where my friend L and i stayed with M and A and their 2 cats in their very centrally located apartment. seriously fun. i don't even know what to write about it...there was much eating of pie (we made 5 pies--2 pecan, 2 pumpkin, and 1 cherry) and playing of euchre...there was mochi ice cream...there were movies (2 watched at home and 1 at a theater)...and we went on a nice little wine tasting jaunt up in northern sonoma county. that was super cool. i actually own four bottles of wine at the moment, all of which i have tasted and already know i like. there was also much eating--excellent, excellent food, including the thanksgiving dinner we all cooked together. we all agreed, it was probably the best thanksgiving dinner any of us have ever had--we figured it was so good because we only made things we knew we liked (and all of us have similar taste in food). i also did a bit of running mileage on some not too big SF hills, which was pretty fun.

oddly, i don't have much else to say. i had an excellent time. now i'm tired and i've got a pile of work to do. i also have a meeting first thing in the morning, which means i won't have time to finish up my work before class...so i've gotta scoot!

hope everyone else out there had an enjoyable holiday. even marina_82, who's in OZ where they don't celebrate this particular holiday. ;-)

lol--yeah...um...i play euchre. you could say that. you know i'm from michigan, right? is there anyone from there (who is also a geek) who doesn't play? back when i was at michigan state, i used to play just about every day, with my roommate denise, and shawn and bobo, the guys who lived across the hall from us (shawn, bobo, and i were all briggsies--lyman briggs majors, i.e. uber science geeks; i think bobo dropped the program before he graduated, though). i made a couple of tactical errors this past week that i never would have made, back then...but it was coming back pretty well. however, for some weird reason, i kept getting fistfuls of 9's and 10's, with one crappy card back like a non-trump jack or a queen, which sucked. we even started naming that kind of hand after me: "the crowley," lol. the opposite of a loner hand.

so yeah...i know the telepathy of which you speak. it is a marvelous thing.
