Happy Thanksgiving, all my Canadian friends. Although I’ve always thought that Thanksgiving is among the lamer of the holidays, given that I have never been interested in pie, turkey, or any of the usual turkey-trimmings-pie-fanfare.

How have you been? I’ve been away. I just spent a week with my in-laws, and I ONLY have nice things to say.

Happy birthday Canada! To celebrate, I’m taking the kids to an amusement park with some friends, and I baked an angel food cake, to be eaten with whipped cream and strawberries. If there is anything more delicious in the world I would like to know what it is. It’s day three of summer vacation and […]
