Happy Thanksgiving
November 24
When we were in Rotterdam, we saw the church that the pilgrims prayed in before setting off to the New World. We met some people who said they were told the same thing about a church in Delft. So, I think the way the story goes is that they left from Delft in a boat that proved to be leaky, and then stopped in Delfshaven (Delft's port), which is part of modern day Rotterdam. Then, they prayed real hard and took off. Anyway, not sure what the real story is.
But, we'll be missing everyone on Thanksgiving.
We are in the airport in Delhi. We woke up at 3:45am to leave the hotel at 5:30am to catch a 8:45am flight which has been delayed for three hours. Luckily, they have broadband internet machines at the airport for only 50 rupees an hour (44 rupees = 1 dollar). I'm in a foul mood, so I won't write about India right now.
OK, so since we can't be there, here is a video of us enjoying cocktail hour in Venice (8.2 M).

It's almost like having you here. Karen's place was filled with about 16, the low system that brought us 4 days of rain, cleared out about noon or one on tday. Great cool air blowing down hard from the north. Travel yesterday here was sucky, lots of bad messy things. But today, we feasted, and counted our blessings. Wishing you all the best in your travels. Thanks for reminding us of the glory of life. Skol.
We had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday. Today, we went out into the woods and cut down the Christmas tree. Then we all came back here, finished off the turkey and watched your "cocktail hour" video. We missed you guys. The grandkids sent you a video on your Yahoo site. Have fun! M
Dara,
Your publisher here. I didn't like the "foul" joke at all.
No really guys - reality T.V. has nothing on you.
I see a movie career and several books in your future (Lord of the Flies and HighLights).
DON'T DO THE FOUL JOKE AGAIN.
Your mentor
