Sunsets + Projectors = Thankfulness
I am thankful for friends coming West for Thanksgiving:

That’s the sunset over the Pacific, seen out the window during Thanksgiving dinner in Santa Barbara. So very different from the associations of turning leaves and harvest colors and squash, but ahhhh sigh, beautiful.
I am thankful for overhead projectors in need of a home:

K and I are going to throw a projector party! Shadow puppets! Oil/food color light art! Role playing math teachers! Wheee!
It’s even branded with the signs of our own allegiance:

And speaking of that allegiance, I am also thankful that my ‘job’ right now is thinking and reading all day—not many people have that luxury, and I’m grateful, really. But it’s harder to be thankful when I have three 20-page papers due in a week. ACK! Time to take my nose back to that ol’ grindstone…
