Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

Yesterday was the last day of two back-to-back conferences here in my in-laws' stomping grounds. I am exhausted, and now must begin the round of family visits. Yeah, I'm happy.

The conferences were meh. There were a few symposia with interesting titles, but the talks therein had little relationship to the titles. I wish I had $5 for every time I observed one of my esteemed senior colleagues picking his nose. I could have covered my outrageous hotel bill with the earnings.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, AP! At least you're now back home-hope it's a restful, peaceful, and food-filled holiday for you and the Angry Family.

Two other tidbits for you:
1. Wednesday brings us "Ask Mom" on E&P, in which Mom finally answers your homemade-pie-crust supplications.
2. There's a 99% chance that I'll be applying to the PhD program at Large Square University. Will keep you informed of all application-related flaming hoops, and molehills-turned-mountains. :-)

Were you on Times Square this weekend, perchance?
