Had Thanksgiving with the hotel staff today. All kinds of good stuff on that plate. Including some stuffing. But no turkey. Seems that when they went to Safeway at 11AM to pick up the roasted turkey that was ordered – they were given a raw turkey. But still plenty of food. And, everyone got at least one overflowing plate to take home. In Hawai’i – you gotta get a take home plate.
I did go for a swim. Before lunch. Knew that after lunch I would be ready for a nap. It is 5:20 and I am not hungry. Which is good, because after that lunch a container of plain yogurt is about all that I need.
Origami is a great way to turn expensive little pieces of paper into expensive paper for recycling. At lunch, I said that I would write a check to help with the Xmas party. And, everyone said no way – they wanted Origami Money. So, guess I visit the bank and try for some nice crispy bills.
About that unfocused image at the top of the page. Shamu 2 has a killer camera. But, it doesn’t always autofocus correctly. And, I sometimes forget to give it a little nudge. But, it really is a splendid camera. Actually no need to lug the “real” camera around except for telephoto.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H.L. Menchen Baltimore Sun, July 26, 1920.
