- Our remodeled basement means my entire family will have places
to sleep when they visit for Thanksgiving, rather than our usual
tent city of sleeping bags and sofas.
- Our TV no longer lives in the living room. *We* live in the living room.
- Tonight's graduation ceremony for an ex-offender training program reminded me why I do what I do for a living.
- Overdue lunches with friends, dinners with friends, and beverages with friends.
- It's Brussels sprouts season!
The Bad:
- I don't know what kind of paint the taggers are using these days, but even the strongest solvent leaves a ghost image behind. Makes it sort of impossible to forget that the Latin Kings have claimed the building on the corner.
- Inez's arthritis.
- Can't. stop. cutting. my. hair.
The Ugly:
- Herbalife 'nutritional product' is taking over the world, including this long-abandoned storefront just two blocks away. The company seems to prey on struggling people of color, many of whom were gathered inside this space tonight, listening to the pitch and emptying their wallets. Beware the orange and green curtains, my friends: today's American signifier of empty promises.

Glad to hear the good, Christy--sounds as if your November's been a darn sight better than your October, on the whole. Happy Thanksgiving!
