Happy Thanksgiving!

In my house, we celebrated the holiday yesterday, to give my son a chance to go and have Thanksgiving dinner with his in-laws. So I made a turkey, a ham, two pumpkin cheesecakes, potatoes, stuffing, a ratatouille, some gravy and a bunch of veggie appetizers. My future daughter-in-law made some green bean casserole. My wife made her famous yams. We ended up having fifteen or so people: more than any other time since we got married. A good time was had by all.

Here’s hoping that wherever your Thanksgiving is, you and your love ones are healthy, and happy, and able to focus on the things which are good in your life. Best wishes!

Addendum: Here’s the NOAA-17 pass that just happpened out over the Pacicific. Max elevation was around 32 degrees, so it’s fairly short and noisy. Someday, I’ll have to get a proper WXSAT antenna and receiver.
