We celebrated Thanksgiving in California with my sister Jackie and her husband Steve. Mom stayed with Jackie and Steve at their home . Marc and I stayed at a Bed and Breakfast in nearby Atherton.

TUESDAY - Arriving In San Francisco

I arrived Monday night. Mom and Steve picked me up at the Bed and Breakfast Tuesday morning. We took care of a few errands and then rolled over to CAFE BORRONE® for lunch with Sister Jeanette's niece Crystalla. Crystalla arrived just after we did. Lunch was pleasant. Crystalla left after lunch, while Mom, Steve, and I rambled over to the bookstore next door. Steve bought a couple of books. Then we returned to Jackie and Steve's and waited for Jackie and Marc to arrivand Marc to arrive.

Marc arrived Tuesday afternoon. Jackie picked him up at the airport. Afterwards, we just hung out at Jackie and Steve's place. We watched TITUS® and then DARK ANGEL® on FOX® TV Network. Steve also explained the joys of TIVO® to us.

WEDNESDAY - Hanging Out

Wednesday morning Marc and I just goofed off and ran errands. We then hooked up with Mom and Steve and went to STRAIT'S® restaurant. Jackie met us at the restaurant. STRAIT'S® is a really good seafood restaurant. This year I got the Halibut, because I did not feel like fighting with my food before I eat it (In previous years, I ate the Lobster and the Crab Claws, respectively). Afterwards, Jackie returned to work. Mom, Marc, Steve, and I returned to Jackie and Steve's once again. I hung out and read DILBERT® while others, who shall remain nameless, did some shopping for birthday gifts. That evening we watched TV all night. Lots of ALLY McBEAL® and X-FILES®, also an Australian comedy called called THE GAMES®. I liked THE GAMES®; it was funny. Finally, we watched a British comedy starring 1 of the actors from RED DWARF®. This comedy was not pretty or funny.
