Happy Thanksgiving!

   Today is Thanksgiving in Canada. Pumpkin pies, turkey, and lots of
   enjoyable wine and company.
   Ahhhhh. Now I understand why class attendance was down on Thursday
   afternoon. Students start leaving for the Thanksgiving break on
   Thursday.

     When I first started teaching in Canada, I taught a course that met
     at 2pm on MWF. On the Friday before Thanksgiving, only seven of the
     seventy students showed up for class. I never again held classes on
     the Friday afternoon before a long weekend.

   [1]Here is a good list of things to be thankful for.
