Post-Thanksgiving Hello

Hope the corn-speed-eating dude covered the keyboard first! I led off a weekend vid playlist with this, h/t to you, Pete, of course.

So, first I was trying to catch up on work neglected prior to the election.

Then we lost our net for a whole week. (Fortunately, it was the low-info Thanksgiving week, not election week.)

That meant, of course, at least two weeks trying to get caught up on lost work from netlessness.

So, been busy. Have missed y'all, and have hardly had time to read the posts, much less follow most of the comments. But now we are fully entering upon that greatest of annual interruptions, lasting until about Epiphany, so, I may continue to miss y'all.

Hope y'alls' Thanksgivings were good. (Use of "y'all," by the way, is my birthright.) We had twenty at my 92yo Mom's table(s) for Thanksgiving, and it was a fine feast with everything a Thanksgiving should have. Considering how many of my relatives are ignorant Obamunists, only a high respect for Mom's no-politics edict managed to keep away the demon of political discussion. Super-sufficient quantities of alcohol provided all other regular entertainments nonetheless. Family! Whose idea was that?? :)
