Happy Thanksgiving.

The Thanksgiving weather has been beautiful here in the bay area, as this picture should illustrate. This is a shot of San Francisco and the Western span of the Bay Bridge taken from Vista Point (just off the Golden Gate) just after 2:00pm on Thanksgiving. It's been pretty chilly at night and in the morning, but we've had 60 degree days. I'm definitely not used to this sort of weather around Thanksgiving!

Obviously, since this is California this weather isn't too surprising. However, my shopping experience on Black Friday was. I had to do some shopping for both Talitha's birthday and our anniversary (1 year and we're both still alive!). I found an decently close parking spot in front of Nordstrom's at the mall. I managed to stop and pick up one of her presents and stop at the [packed] Apple store and get out of there in less than a half an hour. Target wasn't any busier, so I got in an out of there rather quick.

On top of all that, we got our Christmas tree, and Talitha and her niece Sierra got it all decorated. It looks great! I'll have to put up a picture if I get a chance this weekend.

Also saw "Borat" today. Long story short: Funny movie, but not as funny as I expected after all the hype. It's still worth seeing, though I wouldn't trip over yourself to see it at the movie theater.
