Over the river, and through the wood,
To Grandfather's house we go;
the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
through the white and drifted snow.

Over the river, and through the wood,
to Grandfather's house away!
We would not stop for doll or top,
for 'tis Thanksgiving Day.

Happy Thanksgivukah to all who celebrate the two holidays that share today!
EDIT: .... err.... tomorrow. Well, OK, technically tonight is Erev Thanksgiving, and the official start of Chanukah.

Good morning, everyone! Late start this morning... tough getting out of bed today. Too busy yesterday and last night. Today promises to be more of the same. I'm going try using the HDR photography techniques inside some of the ancient temples in my neighborhood and see how that works out. Might just be an interesting blending of 21st Century technology and 15th Century culture. On the other hand, it may just turn out really, really bad. Sort of like 'Dorothy meets Seven of Nine.' But I won't know until I try!

So right now I'm fortifying myself with a new (for me) tea! It's "PG Tips," touting itself as "England's No.1 Tea," and I have to say that despite it being a commercially bagged tea, I'm enjoying it. I was served it at a restaurant last month and inquired as to the brand, being surprised to discover it was a bagged tea. I went looking for a loose leaf package but none was available here so I bought the tea bag box. Glad I did! It is a nice cup of tea. I wouldn't rate it on the same shelf as Fortnum&Mason or East India Company loose teas, but it is certainly the very best commercially bagged tea I've had. I think there will even be enough flavor to withstand a second steeping, although the price it sells for here doesn't make that a necessity.
