Well I have not yet said yes, but I think I see my Thanksgiving plans forming. Rather than being alone I will go with my boss to a meal where I do not know anyone except him and most people will be speaking Spanish anyway. There I will feel unhappy and isolated until we leave and then I will return to my room and read for the rest of the evening. I had hoped for something a bit more "ritualistic sacrifice, with pie," but beggars cannot choose what they get. Most things are closed that day after all and apparently no one needed yet another cook.

In positive news I continue to make progress in trying to be less of a lonely old squire. I actually gave my name and number to a guy I was checking out, nothing came of it, but I did it. I should make up some personal cards so I can do that easier and faster.

Instead of going somewhere that you have already decided you won't enjoy yourself, how about something completely different? Do a movie marathon, take a bus trip and a hike somewhere, splurge and buy something to cook for yourself and read while eating, rent movies about food to watch at home ... I dunno, a lot of things sound better than deciding ahead of time you WON'T enjoy something and still going to do it. Myself, it looks like Thanksgiving will be filled with painting the bathroom, but of course we have the feast day several days later. Long distance hugs to you!
