Just finishing my first mug of tea. I was out on the road earlier -- local traffic is actually a bit better than usual. I assume businesses let out early or ran with a light staff. Daughter is home -- traffic was not light at the airport or on the surrounding highways.

No weekend here! (And fortunately, no football either!) But we do have curling on this weekend, so all is well.

Faux San Pellegrino

Happy Thanksgiving to our US friends. I hope you enjoy your Turkey (or Spaghetti Carbonara if your a reader of Calvin Trillin.). I'll be having more ordinary mid-week fare, given that our Thanksgiving was weeks ago. But perhaps this weekend, a bit of Spaghetti Carbonara is in order.

Meanwhile, Peet's Major Dickason's Blend coffee and a small glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.

A Coke Zero. We stopped at a grocery store to pick up Thanksgiving dinner* and my wife bought us each a soda for the ride to Dad's, forgetting that I had brought a tea with me for the ride. So, I left mine in the van for the ride home. The high temperature for the day was 23° (F) and the Coke Zero had a layer of ice on top. It stayed cold for the hole ride home.

* I assume this is now pretty common, but it has taken a few years to catch on around here. Or, maybe it was just me being slow. Quite a few stores take advance orders for holiday dinners -- turkey, side dishes, desserts, etc. -- and they open in the morning for pick up. Since I used to do most of the holiday cooking in the family, I think it's a great idea.

Power was off for an hour or so. It gave me a chance to conduct a test of my emergency Talisker system.

Diet Coke with a splash of Sprite, left over from my evening ride.
