Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada, so I had the day off work. What would be better than to celebrate the holiday with Jim Chin?

For those of you who don't know Jim, he's a friend I met at Madison freshman year. We met on a Twister board, and as the final two contestants on the board for over an hour, we created the foundation for a truly unique bond. The funny thing is that we have opposite memories about who won. (I'm sure it was me -- did 20 years of ballet not prepare me for a simple Twister game?!) In any case, roughly 16 years after that game, we're still great friends, and it's really wonderful that he has to be here on business for a few days.

We walked around old Montreal for awhile then had (a non-turkey) Thanksgiving dinner at the Jardin Nelson. Here are some pictures of us looking cold but being happy to see each other.
