Amongst other ways I celebrated Thanksgiving, I confirmed my bridesmaid status at the Watcher’s Council.  By the way, to any who thought last week that I was complaining, I wasn’t.  I tend to be a natural and comfortable second placer.  I’m not a general, but I’m a fairly good junior officer.  In any event, given [...]
