Each Christmas season, your score is the number of days after Thanksgiving before you get earwormed by “•••••••••••••••••••••••” by ••••••••••••••; if you make it through Christmas, you score 50. My score this year is 5.

Got tickets for Star Wars. The Majestic Bay Theatre has reserved seating now!

Greg came over this afternoon and taught the kids how to paint minis. The Dude painted a basilisk; the Bambina painted a stag.

Thanksgiving dinner at Greg and Jocelyn’s, with family and friends. It felt like there were only three kids there, not four.

Not much to report. Played a little Wingspan; watched The Mandalorian again and also episode 3 with the dude (he loved it); worked on making gelato di riso tonight.

Watched episodes 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian with Meghan. Super-loved them.

Finally got the cold; exhausted.

Went to GeekGirlCon with the dude.

Current earworm: “What I Got” by Sublime.

Had drinks with Steve last night, and saw his new place.

Just renewed my pile.org domain registration through 2029. Not that I don’t trust private equity firms, but … actually, I don’t trust private equity firms.

Got 7½ gallons of mulch and weeds from the back gutters, about 25′.

Meghan’s kitchen victory: bourbon apple crisp, yesterday, which was this morning’s breakfast.

First one up in the house, 8:50am.

In the late ’90s into the 2010s, whenever flying, I would buy a copy of The Economist and read it on the flight. I regret the error.
