What are your Thanksgiving plans, if you celebrate? My dad’s visiting, and we’re in charge of making the turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes, while our friends are bringing the rest. Also, I want to say, I’m beyond grateful for this warm, funny, smart community of people, and I love you so much. Thank you for being here. Hope you have a good week, and here are a few fun links from around the web…
