The sweet spot in our Thanksgiving this year was a visit from my dear friend, Kim, and her family. We managed to launch a mini van sort of reunion with Perry, another friend from high school. Highlights included the usual Saturday farmer's market run, a father-son 10k in Golden Gate Park, and a Saturday night rendevous with my new birthday CrockPot (chosen over an IPhone!) Sebastian and Sarek are 4 months apart; Nola and Lucas are the same # months apart, just in the opposite direction. After years of wandering our paths around the globe, Kim and I finally live within driving distance of each other, with Kim raising her kids in our hometown.
