Thanksgiving Day (Canada)

Oct 11 - Thanksgiving Day (Canada)
Jumping ahead in the blog for a moment to real time (most entries lag a few days). Currently sitting at the Oregon - California border. I won't take a picture, but they are treating this like a national border. This is no highway toll. Every car is getting stopped. We have nothing to hide, especially when we find out what they are looking for: fruits, vegetables, plants, animals, hunting and fishing products. We have none of the above... free to go.
So for thanksgiving lunch, we stop at an Appleby's restaurant and eat steak. A distant second to what I would've loved today which is quality time with my wife Beta, our two young children Kaspar and Stella, and Beta's sister, husband and child who are visiting from Latvia. A full on get together with one of my step siblings' families would make it even better.
But today, we digress, and plug on through the mountains of Northern California. Not too bad as a consolation prize, I guess.
PS as of this posting, we went to another Appleby's for dinner.
PPS the BROOD just received a link with a very poetic review of our Winnipeg show.
