phynckeThanksgiving has come and gone. I had a really nice time with friends here in the Bay Area - we cooked - we hung out - we relaxed and now I have set up my Christmas tree and I am on to the next holiday. Yessiree. Onward. So back to work tomorrow.
I just finish a really good book - a memoir called Bastards by Mary Anna King about her and her somewhat unconventional family. Her parents kept having children that they had to give away because they could not afford them. She was raised by her grandparents and adopted by them (along with one of her other siblings) and her other siblings were adopted by other families. The adoptions were all arranged with the agreement that the children could find out about their birth parents and other siblings when they were of age. It was a really well written and touching book.
We also got into the amazon series "The Man in the High Castle" which is based on the Philip K. Dick novel of the same name. It is an AU historical story which imagines what might have happened if the Allies had been defeated by Germany and Japan and if the United States had been conquered by them. Very interesting to see it all play out and I bought the book for m kindle and am interested enough to read it.
So that is all I have. Hope those in the US had a great Thanksgiving and everyone is everywhere is doing well.
