So I went to the Crafty Bastards fair yesterday (report here), and thus was at Union Market. Tasty, tasty Union market...

I have all sorts of ideas for Thanksgiving dinner, and it will be glorious!

This year, ellen_fremedom and I are co-hosting, with a roast, a chicken, a variety of soft drinks and starchy foods to be indulged in.

What we need now is a head count...




Right now it looks like it will probably be a gluten-free Thankgiving, but that's not a worry -- Thanksgiving is all about alternative starches! Sweet potato pie, pumpkin soup, and corn fritters for everybody!

Iow, yes, I felt the earthquake. It felt like someone had turned on a jackhammer on the roof -- in fact, at first I thought maybe someone was working on our roof, which leaked badly last year and was a bit of a hazard considering what we do at my job -- but it went on too long and was too loud.

The new assistant project director herded us all outside afterwards so that a quick check of the building could be done. There was nothing, and when we went in, we did a sweep of the running equipment -- all 300 units, to make sure no alarms were going off.

The most I was impacted was the fact that the Metro was only running at 15 mph, so my normal 10 minute commute took 26 minutes. Still, I'm home and I'm fine.
