How was the trip? Well, long.

But also, fortunately, good. Despite the stress of hosting twenty-something people for Thanksgiving, of introducing Jess to my parents and then having them all spend nearly a week together, of generally trying to align all the disparate spheres of my life, everything went about as smoothly as I could have probably hoped.

Still, as I often feel after time away, I think I need a second vacation just to recover from the first.
