Boyteen did the “all the friends are home for the holidays” gathering this afternoon after he & I ran some errands, & then the Hubbs, Girlteen & I just chilled & vegged on this Shortest Day. Watched ✔️Suicide Squad ✔️X-Men Apocalypse ✔️Five Nights at Freddy’s & now SNL. Not a bad day at all.

If you’re wondering why your kids are placing a white crayon on the window sill, flushing ice cubes down the toilet, & wearing their PJs inside out tonight, it just may be because they are engaging in the ritual of invoking the Snow Day Fairy ❄️🧚‍♂️.

I hope everyone celebrating Thanksgiving has had a happy, thoughtful one. I am so grateful for a wonderful family, dear friends, thoughtful colleagues, Trabectedin (IYKYK), & much-needed down time.

Having a new driver has made me a somewhat more patient experienced driver, I think. This has also sprouted some new grey hairs & a couple of minor near heart attacks. But it’s all good; grateful for milestones, especially ones we couldn’t imagine happening a few years ago.
