Turkeying

As I sit here awaiting my guests, I thought I'd share a Happy Thanksgiving wish with you all. I have so much to be thankful for this year - just to name a few: Andrea, friends and family, health, a roof over my head and food on the table and, well - I'm thankful I'm not a turkey!

Take a moment, wherever you are and whatever tradition you're fulfilling this year, to count your blessings today! Whoever you are reading this, I'm thankful for you =)

Da Maria

I haven't posted a picture of us in a while - this one's from last weekend, we headed to the local torta al testo dive, "Da Maria" for some sausage and spinach torta. Mmmm.

Yes we can.

"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer."

Election Day

Well, lucky me voted via absentee ballot weeks ago. On the positive side, I avoided all the crazy lines. On the negative side, I guess I'll never really be sure if it (a) got there, (b) was counted or (c) wasn't used by my mailman to block off a leak in his bathroom.

My hopes are high today. These past few days have indeed brought me back some long-lost faith in my country: we are coming out in record numbers, more decisive than ever before. Proof that we do in fact believe in something, a doubt that's been haunting me for quite some time now. We have succeeded in something, whatever happens now. Ok...now maybe that's going a little too far: GOBAMA!!!
