Melançon Enterprises • a multidivision multinational since 1980

Very good movie (and very good company! I was the guest of Larry and Rosalind and Ian and Anjali and Henry, and I took Wendy's ticket– I saw her where we met up at California Pizza Kitchen.)

I was surprised to recognize words spoken by the main characters in the beginning, before realizing that though in India, as Muslims, they were speaking Arabic (which shares a lot of words with Hebrew... not that I know much Hebrew).

Fantastic. I can't believe it's been since her wedding that I last saw Eliana!

So, my first seeing of the baby.

They want my wedding photos that I took so many of and from everywhere.

Intense scrabble game with Nate and folk.

[Two consecutive browser crashes managed to take out the original notes eventually, so I'm trying to remember almost a month later. Post is backdated.] Details – and names and such I had written down – are fuzzy but the day was great.

We don't have any more food, so I'm going to drink some more beer.

Evening in Boston with Manda, Dan, Shannon, and Kathleen, who probably still doesn't get what Noam Chomsky is all about since the format had no exposition, just Noam's latest thoughts on the election and questions, and the audio wasn't great.

Billed as a Drupal learning day, not so much Drupal got done yesterday, but we had fun hanging out— Manda, Kathleen, and I, and for a while each also Veronica, Grandpa, and Mom as well as, of course, the dogs: Kathleen's Taedyn, Zelda, and grandpa's Rusty). We missed Anjali though, who couldn't make it– early Thanksgiving dinner.

Fantastic time for me, of course, spending time with a couple beautiful, brilliant people.

me: Animated emoticons. How did we live without them?

Stacey and Cathy in unison: I don't know!

Great to see Heather again. It had been far too long.

Day all-in-all fairly successful.

Fixed an issue on Syracuse Cultural Workers, ran Zelda, took a shower, made hummus, and made it to the train on time.

The train then proceeded to be 15 minutes late.

Vegan meetup was interesting. Met Maynard Clark in person for the first time. The café well out there in Brookline, a decent hike away from the C Green line Coolidge Corner stop.

Perfect, really, the weather held off perfectly, for the overnight trip to Provincetown, Saturday to Sunday.
