I don't have the answers yet, but I have learned enough to be dangerous, and ask better questions..

I had forgotten how good Krystal burgers  can taste, especially when one is very hungover.... (WhiteCastle for those of you from the Nawth that might be reading this here post....)

Hordes of autumn leaves - how gorgeous! I am used now to the odd maple interspersed among the palm trees - the odd riot of color against a tropical backdrop....

A rainstorm where the wind howls (um, is that a tornado????) and the rain drives in sideways - purely horizontal - I had forgotten what that was like.

Being driven around Atlanta and wined and dined - how surreal!

Watching my gorgeous daughter (the siren) utterly bewitch her three huge uncles, commanding them to do her will....well, I am taking lots of notes here for future use.

Seeing my childhood home, and realizing that it seems so..... small compared to how I remember it. Or is that the overstuffed furniture the new occupant has installed?

Missing my parents.....<sniffle>

Staying up until 3:30 AM drinking fabulous Chardonnays, surrounded by terribly expensive and enormous Renaissance paintings....Well, despite the feeling of being in a museum / Chateau, aaaahhhh, I love Thanksgiving!

I am ready for Pumpkin Pie.....
