Catching up


So, Thanksgiving was nice. Thanks Dave and Rachel, and Rachel's parents! Remind me to get Mom's springform pan from you this weekend. Also, remind me to bring Dave's suit. Boston was also fun. I left Sunday morning, but my first flight was delayed because as we were taxiing to the runway, the girl next to me started having a seizure. So that was new and different and scary. She was an epileptic and she was ok, although they did have to deplane her eventually. The airline did get us all on new flights very quickly for those of us who missed our connections in Charlotte. It was remarkably warm in Boston yesterday-like 45 and sunny. I didn't even need my coat and scarf. It was great weather for wandering around looking at old stuff. I forgot to take a camera, although I'm pretty sure I have some pictures of the same old buildings from that time I went to Boston ten years ago. Oh, look at that! That is a picture I took with my cell phone of the view from my hotel room balcony.
And apparently Shannon was storing up her weirdness to share with me while I was away. She got home from work today and we talked for a while, then watched 17 Kids and Counting, and then got to the weirdness. I was telling her my theory about how I should get my top front teeth filed down to make my face more symmetrical-like. And then somehow we wound up measuring the space on each of us from hip bone to hip bone in the front and from navel to the bottom of the ribs. We don't have a measuring tape, so we were using a tape measure, and I had to get into the semantic bizarreness of that. Anyway, the point is, are your shoulders a few inches shorter width-wise than your hips? Also, if you put your thumb on the bottom of your ribs below your boobs, is your belly button really close? Mine is far enough away that I have to use my middle finger to reach it, but Shannon doesn't believe me that that's just because I have a long torso and is now convinced she has a midget torso. But my long torso was the bane of my existence for a while. Now I have bigger problems. Anyway, help us settle this. I won't even tell you about the nose-measuring argument. I think we need help.

Yeah, don't forget my suit. Thanks for the pumpkin cheesecake. I finished it last night, including all of the crust that was left in the pan. It was good, thanks for making it. You can have the pan back now.
