Thanksgiving 2010
Sunday, November 28th, 2010
I wasn’t feeling particularly overwhelmed with surprise that Thanksgiving had come around again, but it did seem to sneak up quickly once we had entered the Fall sector of 2010. I played it low key, just hanging around the house alone, watching some 30 Rock, and working on my xtranormal videos (more on that later).
