so, can we take this to mean that you’re going to LA and renting that Diaper Van we spoke of earlier?

Sadly, there will be no Diaper Van renting. There will be only eating of turkey and sight-seeing. There might also be goofing around and reminiscing, and some time spent at a Disney-related establishment.

Also, probably the occasional utterance of “Holy shit, I’m in L.A.!”

Wow. LA for Thanksgiving. You know, I considered doing something similar— like, I thought it would be fun to rub Elmer’s Glue in my hair, wait for it to dry, then grab the back edge and yank forward as hard as I can. Then I realized that would be horribly unpleasant. If you had a similar realization about spending time in LA, you’d be right.

and you are going to miss my Thanksgiving dinner. But have fun, don’t mind me. Go on. I really am not hurt or anything. No, no, I’ve just been chopping onions, really. (No really, have a great time!)

And I’m going to San Francisco for Christmas!

Josh, you silly. I’m not going to L.A. because it’s L.A. I’m going to L.A. because I was invited to visit the guy who is probably the most influential friend of my whole life. I don’t really have anything AGAINST L.A… but I’m certainly not going just because I feel like breathing some smog. I mean, I can smoke just fine right here in Seattle!

(And Ben - woo hoo! I should send you to my friend Nonoko’s house to spread some Christmas love.)

oh, by the way -

I am sure the food will not be nearly as good as whatever j is going to make. She is hot and smart and damn, can that girl cook. I am “chopping onions” right now just thinking about it.

So, THIS is what all you people have been doing behind my back! I am shocked - SHOCKED to find out that you-all have secret lives!

Or maybe it’s just the onions…

Listen here, boatman - this was never a secret…

(You just didn’t know about it!)

I HAD heard vague rumors…
