(Community Matters) Steven burned a bunch of Radio Lab episodes onto a CD for our drive back. Do yourself a treat listen to the story about Stu, http://billy-duss.blogspot.com/2009/10/radio-lab-new-normal-stu-rasmussen.html

(Community Maters) For years, I posted my Holiday Cards the Wednesday before Thanksgiving so they’d be the first to arrive the day after. Alas, it’s not to be this year – will try to do something appropriately warm and welcoming some other time during the year

(Community Matters) exceptional thanksgiving in Shawnee yesterday with all the cousins and uncles and children.   Steven and I were asked to be in the play by the children this year.  Responsibility for writing the play has passed down to a new generation – what an extraordinary tradition.

Tonight in Edmond, OK for Julio’s green chicken enchiladas and Rudy Green’s  margaritas – seriously, we transported Julio’s for 20 plus to large bottles of Rudy’s margaritas.  Couldn’t have spent a better evening telling stories, hooting and hollaring.

Over the holidays some drama about relationships with 15/17 year old nieces and what’s the appropriate level of candidness/support.  I say gay uncles get to spoil nieces & nephews unquestionalbly – guess that’s part of the controversy.  oh well . . . .
