The third and fourth wave of family arrived today. There are now five people under 8 years old in the house. And most of the womenfolk are ailing in some way. It's going to be an interesting Thanksgiving.

Just as an example... my mother had surgery on her foot last Friday (less than a week ago) but she and my father have abandoned their house to their kids and for the next three nights they will be sleeping in a tipi pitched down by what we call the "Hundred Acre Woods."

This Thanksgiving it looks like the pilgrims will be inviting the Indians in for dinner.

Books: Over the next few days I'm hoping to talk my sister with a college degree in illustration to do a few ... well, illustrations for me.
