Saturday: call volume was pretty high, but since I was helping with chat support, I avoided at least a few hours at the beginning and end of my shift. Julie made clam chowder and toasted cheese sandwiches for lunch, and once my shift ended, we walked down the street to see the chaos on the Miracle on South 13th Street. (There's a streth of south 13th that goes all-out on decorating for Christmas, and when the season starts, they block the road and have a big party with lights, and music, and a little train that drives around the block. It's a cool event, but it's not really for us since we don't have kids, and it snarls traffic something fierce. I took a video fo some of the sights and sounds this year.)
Back home, we watched more Good Omens while we finished the last of the beef and vegetable stew. I'd gotten the electric blanket out during the day, and it was very nice to enjoy that heat when I came to bed.

Thursday: at Richard and Glen's for Thanksgiving again. This year, we had a charcuterie board and Detroit-style pizza. ("Sauce on top," in Julie's words.) I rescinded my recommendation for Cultist Simulator for reasons which I cannot go into.

My closest cousin when I was growing up had his first child, today!
Saturday: we went to Vietnom Nom for dinner, where Julie had her usual bahn mi. (The ancient records do not report my entree. Julie said the fries were amazing and she'd go back to try their pho. That means I didn't have pho myself, so I probably had something with fried rice.) After dinner, we stopped by Freezing Roll Rolling Ice Cream on the southeast corner of the New Market Square intersection. (This is one of those places where they pour out your flavor mix onto a super-cold surface, cut the sheet into pieces, and then roll the frozen strips up to put in your bowl.) I was very excited for a S'mores adaptation into ice cream, and it was cool to look at all the photos on the walls of the staff and their families from when it had opened earlier this year. I don't think we got to go back here before the place closed, though, which I've always felt a little sad about.
Friday: it was cold outside the townhouse, but the windows must have been warm enough that Koop and John both perched in the front window long enough for me to snap a photo.

Tuesday: it seems like this was the trip that confirmed for Julie her disinterest in skiing as an activity. If I'm remembering right, we went to Copper Mountain, where all the training classes had ended for the day, and all the green-rated slopes were closed. It was a perilous and frustrating experience, and we wound up waiting for ski staff to take us back down.
