The Gypsy Life

I have not posted in quite some time.  This month I am living the life of a gypsy, and not enjoying it a great deal.  I spent the last two weeks in England, celebrating my father's 90th birthday.  I also got to meet my newest nephew, Alexander.  We are calling him Xan, with a Z sound.  The other little ones insist it's far "cooler" than Alex or Al.

I miss my badjia, of course, and she has been sick.  I know my readers (if I have any) may wonder why I have not run to her.  If I could, I would.  The study I am overseeing is demanding a lot right now.  Finding a cure for PF is taking me away from home.

At the moment I am in Texas, sharing data with colleagues.  Next week I will be in Nova Scotia.  December can't come soon enough.

Any road, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.  I will be missing out on all that glorious food.  Have some turkey with lots of dressing and gravy for me, won't you?

Oh-- meet Xan!  He's a big fan of squash.

Ah. I have to admit I didn't wonder why you didn't go home. I assumed - yes, assumed - it was because you couldn't. Because we all know if you could, you would.

Light and luck.

Thank you for that, Elise!
