Thanksgiving Eve
I’ve been pretty much incommunicada the past few days. My email suddenly got corrupted, as if it fell in with the wrong crowd at school, and is presently at a corruption level equalling that of the N’Awlins police department. Juvenile delinquent that it is, it completely refuses to work at all. So I have to reinstall it at peril of losing saved messages (including some from Dad) and at peril of my technological stupidity, which is at a level equalling that of any member of the Bush family.
Which means I haven’t yet attempted it, and probably won’t until this weekend, so if you have written to me in the last week or so, for once the old line is true and it’s not you, it’s me. Hopefully all will go well and you will find my words of wisdom in your inbox sometime next week.
Apart from tech issues, you also know that we are experiencing Mo’ Mom. In addition to that, my father’s closest friend Colin W (aren’t I lucky to have two amazing Colins in my life?) has been visiting San Francisco for the first time ever, so I have been trying to be the best Tour Guide Suzy ever since Sunday. Being tour guide is quite exhausting, though at least the weather has cooperated and been sunny and bright. Since Colin lives in England, he doesn’t find 50° cold, so he’s pretty happy.
He’s also an excellent cook, so I have been on my mettle producing show-off food all week. Colin and I cook together as naturally and happily as Dad and I did (and Colin and Dad did, for that matter), which was a poignant surprise.
Tomorrow my sis & bro arrive here for Thanksgiving – Colin’s first ever! I know it will be an emotional one, and I hope it will be a happy one, too. I have a great deal for which to be thankful, and having all these people I love together in my home is at the top of the list.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, even if you live where it’s not a holiday. To all of you who read my trivialities, offer your support, advice, and friendship: I am thankful for you, too.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday and I hope you don’t lose the emails! That totally sucks :(.
And thank YOU!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving. 🙂
By the way, why in the hell is it less than 50? in effin’ Mississippi and Alabama…? I was visiting family in the deep south, and lo and behold, the damn wind chill got down to 29?! Very unfunny! Especially for a Floridian! Ah well, I enjoyed myself anyway.
Anyhow, have a good time with your family and such. You gotta let us know how it all went. 🙂
PS. Email’s a bitch sometimes. :-/ Perhaps it’ll have a soft side and right itself…?
Come back Suz! We miss you!!
ps: I am quite thankful for you too. You are a gem.
Don’t do anything until I put you in touch with MY email expert!!! She’s bailed me out on many occasions, both personal and professional, where email is concerned.
