Happy Thanksgiving Week!

Watching The Queen's Gambit now. Evidently I'm not alone in thinking at first that it didn't look interesting, because... chess. You don't have to like chess at all to like the show! It takes place mostly in the 60's, and has a supercool vibe. It's a great story. When we watch it, it also reminds me that we haven't watched the latest season of The Crown yet. (SHOCKING.)

Started watching Long Way Down, too. So far, we're still in Europe, so we haven't met any bad "roads" or gangs with guns yet. In the backwoods portions of the series, they are slowed by various terrain obstacles, and in places like Europe and the US, they are slowed by Ewan McGregor fans. Ha.

 

Crystal may take a job in Odessa. Then I'll know one person in Odessa. 

 

Lauren has been recommending some places for us to retire. So far, Jeff and I have only talked about College Station specifically, but we're open to other places, especially somewhere cooler. Her suggestions- Colorado and Columbia, Missouri. Those might be a little too cold/snowy for us, I think, but good choices! We've got over a decade to decide. Tick tock.

I'm ready for Thanksgiving. All the regular dinner dishes will be prepared and we'll decorate for Christmas. Will zoom with the in-laws on Thursday and my fam on Friday. For most of the past 30 years, it's been just a phone call, so this year is actually more Thanksgiving togetherness than ever! Happy Thanksgiving!
