will be leaving tomorrow morning to go back to a wintry chicago. have had a wonderful holiday - no fights over politics, no freak outs. just a huge family thanksgiving that sort of looked like a scene from 'mi familia.'

around the dinner table, i looked around and my dad and i were the only brown faces - and everyone else spoke spanish. let's hear it for los angeles and multiculturalism! my niece and nephew speak spanish fluently, the in laws only speak spanish and i'm going to have to seriously brush up if i'm to survive any more family holidays.

only complaint so far - haven't nearly had enough to drink while here and, yes, i must admit to wanting to go home and snuggle. am i the only one the holidays make horny?
