Due to circumstances entirely beyond my control (thank you, Valmont), I will very likely have no internet access during this extended holiday weekend.
My CEO has also just sent out an email telling everyone to go home. I think that is a splendid suggestion.
As such, this is my last chance to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving! I am off to buy a coffee maker, a roasting pan, and a whole mess of vegetables. Picture me with a gleeful smile on my face, chopping shallots, and drinking a glass of wine, for pretty much the next 28 or so hours. After that, just picture me with the smile and the wine. I think I'll make a toast to all of the people I have met on here over the last nine months -- people who are interested in what I have to say, people who say things in which I am interested, people who do things I have never done but get to live vicariously through, people who do exactly the same things as me but in a slightly different way, people who are brilliant, who are hilarious, who are talented, who are just plain weird (just like I like my friends). You all do a tremendous job at rocking the socks off of my face.
Happy Thanksgiving!
