A Thanksgiving to be Thankful for

November 29th, 2003

I had the pleasure of joining Jade’s family for Thanksgiving dinner in Houston on Thursday. The Woodall family was incredibly kind and gracious, and I’m very grateful for their invitation. The meal was magnificent, and TJ will be pleased to know that it included turducken.

I’m off now to HEB to get some cough syrup and/or tea and some groceries. Tonight a few of us are planning to go see Sarah Bate’s alma mater play Texas in basketball. Tip-off is at 7:00 PM CST.

Turducken

November 25th, 2003

It seems like there’s been alot of hype about turducken lately (scroll to the bottom and apparently there’s a song).

What exactly is it?
Basically you cook a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey.

Why would you want to do this?
Well, apparently it’s pretty good, if you like that sort of thing.

Where did you hear about something so crazy?
I think it was on the radio.

My self-proclaimed renaissance

November 21st, 2003

My self-proclaimed renaissance is going well.

Wednesday I ran a mile and a half, did two hundred situps, and swam nearly a mile with Jade.

Thursday I had a nice long chat about spirituality with Sara.

Today I explained NP completeness to an intern at work.

Tomorrow I’m going to be in a movie.

Sunday I’m going to see !Hero, a Christian Rock Opera, with Jade.

…and I’m going for a run.
