Thanksgiving

I just trekked back to CA in what was easily the longest trip I've
made in a while. It was more or less just like "Planes, Trains, and
Automobiles" except without Steve Martin.

But I'm thankful I'm here now. And for lunch I was treated to some
fried catfish, onion rings, and fried okra at a place called Big
Skinnys. Here's to food!

And hello SFO! (this is the departure hall)

Wear your corduroy Friday

Along with being Veterans Day and a big, pretty palindrome (11-11-11),
Friday is also apparently a big day for the Corduroy Appreciation Club
(www.corduroyclub.com).

Every year on January 11th and November 11th the Club holds a Grand
Meeting to celebrate corduroy (all those ones in the date look like
corduroy fabric, of course). I'm not clear how one celebrates corduroy
exactly... Regardless, this year they're calling it The Grandest
Meeting because it's just so grand.
