LOCK UP YOUR DITCHDIGGERS WE’RE COMIN’ TO TOWN!
Arrived safely at my parents’ place yesterday, after a turbulence-free flight but slightly rocky communication about where to pick me up. (I’d planned to rent a car, but I was feeling the lag already when we landed and didn’t know whether I could trust myself on two hours of interstates right then.) Am drunk on the expansiveness of everything, from the roads to the cars to the food packages, as always when I first arrive. The cats, whose room I’m using, don’t quite remember me from last year, which has led to a lot of disdainfully curious Siamese staring in my direction.
Also, did you know you can get Atkins Diet-approved versions of everything? Last night, I was like, “Uh, is this Carb Count Dairy Beverage something I’m right in considering…milk?” But I’m adjusting. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Glad to have you stateside. Wowie, zowie, I just realized you’re in almost the same time zone. That’s cool enough.
I’m still the jet-lag champ, trust me. But I made it through Thanksgiving dinner with my father’s side of the family without crashing until the post-prandial game-watching, which I think is within the bounds of civilized behavior. Very exciting to be home for w while.
