Thanksgiving update

Thanksgiving is going pretty well. Last time we hosted all of the relatives at my parents' house, there was a big fight about Israel that divided the men and upset the women. But this year, everyone who came was united by a common enemy: the referees who officiated the most recent Steelers game. There was no awkward moment that couldn't be alleviated by some variation of "Hey I know, why don't we fine the Steelers for being the Steelers!"

The outcome of the Pitt / West Virginia game was a disappointment to most in attendance, but then we rallied and complained about the new TSA regulations for most of Friday night dinner. Everyone agreed with everyone, and all was well. So it has been a pretty good holiday.
