cellioThanksgiving with my parents, my sister, and her kids went well. (My niece and nephew are still self-centered brats in a lot of ways, but oh well.) I enjoy spending time with my parents. So many families are messed up in various ways that I'm very glad I can say that.
We tried to pry some gift ideas out of various folks, with partial success. (If anyone can tell me the name of a series that ran on HBO, exists on DVD, and was described to me as "kind of like Saving Private Ryan", I will be grateful.)
Food was yummy. My mom made a new dish in the "yam" niche; it had applesauce, yams, brown sugar, oatmeal, and other stuff that I've forgotten. That doesn't sound like an especially promising combination, but it was very good. Sweet, though; I think I'd cut the brown sugar back if I made it.
We never got to the pies. That's fine; I didn't go hungry. :-)
Tomorrow morning I head off to a con (Darkover) with the rest of On the Mark. We have two performances, and I think we're going to sound great. I'll be back Sunday night.
