Turkey day is approaching!


SkyTrain in Bangkok, as seen in the NY Times. Isn't that amazing?














Anyway, no link but.....This is going to be my first Thanksgiving, as I arrived in the US last year right after turkey day.

I'm quite excited as it seems to be a big thing for tradition, get together dinners and shoooping!

Apparently, the day after thanksgiving, nicknamed black friday is going to be MAD. People flock to the stores for discounts like you've been dreaming of. Well, we'll see...
We'll have the traditional turkey at Jen's place, who has kindly invited us!

Last week end we went to NJ to celebrate Katia's phD and meet her newly adopted cat: Plume. We also went for anticipated shopping session at the Jackson, NJ outlet village. Good bargains again, ahh, I shouldn't spend too much time at those places :-S. Oh well... At least now I have real comfy high tech Nike sneakers to run the marathon next year :-)




Yesterday, Jen proposed us to meet at this bar in the Lower East Side: Living room. There was a jazz/blues/country concert from a guy of which I had never head of: Jesse Harris. The place was small, unpretentious and rather crowded, and the music excellent. It was a great unexpected surprise. Jen expleined me that Jesse wrote several songs for Norah Jones, won a grammy award for one of those, and that the Living Room is the place where Norah Jones played countless times before becoming famous. How inspring! Ayway if you like Norah Jones music, you'll probably enjoy Jesse Harris, which is a bit more rock, but with southern rythms...
