Happy Thanks/Friends-giving Turkey Day!

[Jopsy Pendragon]

To those that feast with family and/or friends, or choose hunker down bracing against the compulsory cheer and social engagement... may your repast be delicious, the company pleasant and the digestive torpor that follows a blissful respite from current events. =)

Ah ha!

Thats why it’s so quiet here today. All the Americans are chewing on giant bird.

Seriously, I thought it was on a weekend day. Didn’t know it was today.

Hope you all enjoy family and/or friends and good food.

Always on a Thursday. Why, I have no idea.

I've been waiting for new tablets and black friday sales to drive down the price of the tablet I wanted... with the impending threat of tariffs jacking up electronics prices, I wanted to make sure I'd get something that would last me a while. Best Buy's discounts were pretty amazing, what I had budgeted for the mid-sized tablet I wanted... was now enough for the -large- version! Woot!

So, I braved the crowds last night, hopped in an Uber and zoomed down to their store.

I must have asked the right guy for help, because the moment I said "tablet" he escorted me past the dozen people in line at the cell phone station, got me exactly what I wanted, then escorted me right past the 50 or so people in line for registers to ring me up.

I was in and out of the store so fast that I got the same Uber driver for the trip home. =D

The family enjoyed a happy, baby-centric, political-free couple of days with an abundance of charcuterie, rotisserie chickens, plantains, and pumpkin pie made with cocoanut milk (I know but it was okay). It was the first holiday gathering in years that hadn't been fraught with demands and demands and demanding last minute changes and additional screaming demands. I don't know how it happened but it was really nice.
