Giving Thanks

November is nearly come and gone, and no posts so far. Jona spent a couple of weeks with family and friends in Spokane, Washington, and JM joined her for a long weekend. We had lots of fun, meeting up with people and discovering new places. Spokane is the biggest little city we know of.

Back in Los Angeles, we've both been busy at work, with Jona processing the very last papers for her teaching credentials and JM receiving a promotion. In addition to this good news, we've been enjoying the warm weather on weekends. Hard to believe it's November. This weekend is Thanksgiving, so we're trying to connect and reconnect with all our respective families and mutual friends.

It's been a good month for movies, because a cinema finally opened Downtown. We now have a Regal 14-plex within walking distance, by the LA Live complex, and it's a treat. These small steps make the neighborhood so much more liveable. It's come such a long way in five years. We went back to the Academy for the first time in a while, and saw "From Here to Eternity" with a brief discussion between Ernest Borgnine and Lou Diamond Philips, and interesting combination, to say the least.

There's a new feature on this blog: if you click on the title of new posts, there will be an option for leaving comments at the bottom of the post. Keep it more or less civilized!

As we get ready for some quality time off, we'd like to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving.
