November is coming to a close

November is one of my favorite months of the year. It's the 11th month, it's (in most parts of the world) the beginning of winter, it kicks off a new Presidents (every 4 years), it signifies the start of the Holidays-- which if you're in school means a break is right around the bend-- and in Alaska it's the start of ski/snowboard season. What's not to like?

Here are some of my November highlights:

(tasted much better than it looks here)

Homemade Thanksgiving pies (which were actually pretty good)!



A lovely snowy desk view and the first BIG snow of the year.


A few New Reads, which are warmly welcome as most of my books are still in Portland.


And best of all: a new puppy. Lars (named after Dutch author, Hans de Beer's Littlest Polar Bear, Lars-- who he looks just like. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Polar_Bear)

Some more stuff
