The title, of course, is Chinese for "gobble gobble" (I'm serious... That's really how it translates).

Yesterday was yet another Thanksgiving, come and gone. I was originally just going to hang out in my apartment or maybe go to the beach, but some friends invited me over for a full Thanksgiving dinner. It was delicious. We had all of the classics, plus home brew. One of the new guys out here brews his own beer and is happy to share. I even volunteered to be his underling. The beer is that good. I think some good times are ahead of us.

My sister and one of her friends flew in last night. We are all going sailing on Saturday, so that should be a good time. The two of them are in a sailing club in Madison, so they are all about the nautical terminology. They even asked my what sort of rig my boat was (sloop). Hopefully they aren't upset with me if I use the motor during the second half of the returrn trip tomorrow instead of tacking three or four times into the wind. It's just so much easier. Then again, if they know how to sail I'll let them work the lines and tiller while I just kick back. That would be ok too.

In other news, I found my first grey hairs yesterday. I'm only 25. I'm sure it's just the natural progression of things, but I'm going to blame it on all of the time spent in front of a computer. Electrons. They'll get you every time.

Pics coming in the next post, I swear. Reading is less fun than looking, but I have been avoiding the camera.
