By The Time I Get To Arizona

Hello from Phoenix where this weekend the temperature has been in the 70s. (Dallas, in contrast, has been about 25 degrees cooler.) It's been nice waking up to sunshine and palm trees, but it's time to go home. 

I needed a break from home. My frustration with Thanksgiving reached a fever pitch this week, because my Thanksgiving will now actually be on Wednesday, but I've had all weekend to de-stress and change my perspective. Judge me if you will, but I, like Chandler on Friends, hate Thanksgiving. (I guess I should clarify ... my perspective on hating Thanksgiving has not changed ... it's still my least favorite holiday. Doesn't matter why. My perspective on how I will handle this year's Thanksgiving has changed.) 

That's all I'm going to say about Thanksgiving ... except I will add that if you need a good Thanksgiving episode to watch, please watch the How I Met Your Mother "Slapsgiving" episode. Love it.
