This weekend, 11/16-11/18:

Totally off-topic, but... does anyone else have a spouse whose mother calls them (for no particular reason) 3 times before 11:30 am?   Chill out, woman!

P.S. - I'm not putting out a Monday-Thursday list this week.  You all have your Thanksgiving week plans set; you don't need me to give you tips.  See you next Friday.
