T-day and winter

Thanks giving Day ..... has come and gone. Family gathered and we ate abundantly. This remains one of my favorite holiday's of the year. 25 of us gathered at my brother's house for the seasonal celebration of thankfulness.




Winter is upon the northern hemisphere. In Oregon we are having strangely cold days where temps do not get above freezing. Finally we breached 30F today after 5 days of below freezing. Snow in the forecast for tonight.

The fall term of school has come to a close today. This past week I handed in my term papers, my thesis corrections, and made my poster for the AGU conference I am attending/participating in next week in San Fran. Time to take a breathe ....... finally.
