Happy Thanksgiving Weekend, everyone! No holidays or celebrations up here in Canada, just the cold weather, but my classes will be over very shortly and I have vacations from work starting a couple of weeks afterwards. That’s definitely something to look forward to and to be grateful for. 🙂
I enjoyed reading up on everyone’s Thanksgiving day posts, but I think that 101’s was my favorite: Eat Drink and Be Larry.
I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving day and weekend, and here is some great reading for the week ahead:
