Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the U.S., my favorite holiday. No gifts. No services. No dressing up, no stress. Just family, friends, food and football. Yes, my family loves watching the Dallas Cowboys play on Thanksgiving and having a late lunch.
No matter where you’re from, I’m thankful for your time in stopping by here, commenting, contacting me, sharing posts with others. Those in the U.S., I hope you take the time to take in the day and relish it. Those outside of the U.S., I’d love to hear about your traditions or a day that just lets you be with folks you love without stresses of fulfilling duties.

I hope all my American friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m, of course, thankful for you, you and yes – you! And yes, anyone who lives outside of the US. My first grader had Pioneer Day where the kids did different activities: make butter, make soap, cloth dying, etc. My fifth grader had Colonial Day where they made Jonnycakes, cross-stitched, worked with tinfoil, etc.
Not going anywhere for Black Friday. Staying right at home away from the crowds and enjoying family time. Besides, got most of my holiday shopping done.
Congratulations to Nicole Bernier for winning a copy of Thirsty!

Brain food… not too much this time… enough food this week, eh?
- Wordiness, Wordiness, Wordiness List: Words you can remove from your writing [Link: Esther Schindler].
- “Seg-Book-Gation” in Publishing: 1950 is calling, it wants segregation back. I read a book because it’s good — not because of the author’s race, religion, gender, etc. etc. The only time authors matters is when I like their book that I want to find more from the same.
- Writing Pay-How Low Will You Go? It all depends on experience, locale and workload.
And for fun because we’re allowed…
- World’s Strangest Monuments: Hail, hail reef ecosystems! [Link: Andy Hayes]
- 12 Strangely Painted Homes: You can’t help but wonder if they were Photoshopped.
- 15 Most Bizarre Boat and Yacht Names: Some not safe for work.
- 12 More Insanely Titled Books: Many not safe for work. Yes, Oddee is on a roll this week. Or rather, many of us took a break from blogging this week.
