Thanksgiving in Philadelphia


Well, as many of you might know I was home visiting for 2 weeks over the Thanksgiving holiday. I was glad I chose Thanksgiving over Christmas to come home for a few reasons, one of which is I missed Thanksgiving foods! The other is the general level of crazy is a wee-bit less and travel a bit easier perhaps. I had a great time visiting family and it was great to see everyone, especially my Mom, Dad and Sister's family. I really missed them. Also I saw some former coworkers and friends and that was great too.

One thing is for sure, I ate a LOT of pizza..i think I averaged about 2.5 slices a day, which helps account for the 5 lbs gained (no extra charge at airport). Turkey was great (as usual) and got to see the new Comcast building featured above. I gotta say, I was pretty impressed..go Philly! Largest HD screen in the world at a cool 1 mil. Nice little building they put up, those Comcast folks.

Well, guess I am way behind on posts now. Still have Kyoto and Nara to do. Right. Just let me take a little nap first...still jetlaggin a bit : )
