Thanksgiving at Deb's is giving option 3 a definite boost.
There is also very good champagne, and there are cats to hang out with. Plus, among other things, I am considering making a chapeau noir as one of the desserts this year. Or a winter harvest tart with tiny champagne grapes that have been glazed in redcurrant jelly.
Or both.
You don't get half the purse unless you beat me, Allyson. But if you come over
right now,
you stand a damned good chance.
Thank you, and I probably will. I couldn't work out Thanksgiving in L.A., but I'll likely be there pretty close to it on one side or the other. When are you out of town?
I haven't really decided yet. I was planning on being there for the whole weekend, but that can be rearranged, if it means getting to see you (and going to the SD zoo)
I'll be in Alabama Nov. 20-27, so Option 1 is obviously the only one I like.
I'll know when the ice comes off, Lee.

San Diego Zoo will be happening either earlier (say about the 16th) or later (say the 30th). Well, Option 1 would mean the 23rd or so, but I think that's less likely than the other two. I'll be in San D for twice as long as the other cities, so I'm trying to spread the wealth. L.A. will get at least one weekend day, and either Seattle or SF will probably get Thanksgiving. And I will get pie.

D'oh! Yeah, I'm afraid it's behind the other two right now.
Oh well. I'll just have to be sure to put Australia atop my list of destinations for after my first bestseller!

There's no question of skipping Thanksgiving with the fam, unfortunately. It'll be the first time most of them have met Annabel, and my nephew Nathan will be there. I really, really want to see him, since he'll also be leaving the country soon, and for a much less desirable destination (Iraq).
