Put up the tree tonight. No idea how to get a decent photo of it in all its lit up glory.

On the kitchen counter. I guess i should find a better place for them, but we have a lot of counter space!

Spent the weekend cleaning up & prepping for Thanksgiving visitors. I put out the snowglobes, because the little ones enjoy them.
I wrote a great talk, but forgot to account for laughter, so I had to shorten it as I went along. If you’re not familiar with Ignite, their motto is: Enlighten us, but make it quick. You get 5 minutes, 20 slides that auto advance every 15 seconds.
The guy that won the golf club traded to another attendee for microfiber cloths. That guy gave it back to the sponsors to give away at the break, so it was re-prized a couple of times that night.
Not bad for a first try.

My guilty pleasure, the Sunday New York Times. I save the Book Review and crossword puzzle for last.
FYI: Here’s an update on my 50 book challenge.

Well, new to me, anyway.

Look what arrived today – A Mountain Dew snowboard!

The back of my van this week. Ready for anything.
