#24 T-giving No Holiday


It is perhaps obvious that Thanksgiving is not a holiday in China, but who would have thought that it would be a standard workday ? Our office was in full swing today with multiple meetings, teleconferences, and out of town visitors.

One clear benefit, though, is that tonight there are no conference calls with the U.S. Our IL Cat comrades are all having turkey with their families, so yours truly and the China contingent get to go to sleep early !

During the few minutes between dinner tonight and the children's bedtime, Maria performed a preschooler right of passage - she cut her own hair. Juliana discovered the mess of hair all over the floow next to their bedroom mirror. Maria's appearance not terribly affected, but the floor had more hair than a barber shop at basic training.
