Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

FYI, David, my friend was So Excited about the copy of Swordfishtrombones I gave him for his birthday. Next time you do your tour, I think I can just about guarantee you a couple of ticket sales!

Woo hoo! I'm hoping by next spring.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Have had muscle aches and a headache on and off today. Still managed to get through work like normal.

I'm back in a theatre, actually sitting in tech rehearsals for A Christmas Carol. The last time I was in a theatre for tech was March of 2020.

Man, this last 18 months. So weird.

I am very glad not to be hosting Thanksgiving, since my kitchen faucet is dripping water all over the under-sink cabinet. Yay.

Still, I'm making maple-walnut pie to bring to Friendsgiving. And I have to remember to whip the cream as well, and add a little bourbon.

Ooh maple walnut pie sounds delicious! I made it from Ashland down to SF today, and am staying with a friend. So I may make pumpkin pie but am open to suggestions on a second dessert to make, if anyone has suggestions!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, that is amazing!

I wouldn't say this to anyone in my family, but I just realized why I'm not super into our Thanksgiving dishes: my aunt, who hosts, is allergic to nuts and shellfish! So there is a pecan pie, but that is it for nuts, and historically my family would have had shrimp cocktail at a holiday, but no more. It's all good, don't get me wrong, but my father raised me to believe that everything is better with nuts in it.

I’m hoping to get a lot done today, but I took a lazy morning. Now to shower and get going. Turning off the tv and putting on some music.

Same. A good friend, and regular attendee at stuff I host, is also allergic to nuts. So I've gotten in the habit of avoiding/substituting for them. But she's not coming to dinner tomorrow, so I'm going to have candied pecans as one of the appetizers and walnuts in the Waldorf salad. It feels transgressive, but delicious.
