Back. Hi -- I've been out for a little while -- in Hyannis and then Plymouth, Massachusetts. I didn't see any Kennedys while in Hyannis, but I guess it's Palm Beach season now. I drove by Plymouth Rock and was interested to note it's right by the road.

Speaking of Plymouth Rock, I should note that I'll probably be pretty busy through Thanksgiving, but don't forget about me.

Of course as a Virginian, I must point out that the first Thanksgiving in the New World was in Virginia. (Or was it in North Carolina? or Florida? or Texas?-- in any event, if Pat Buchanan had been around back then, we wouldn't be celebrating those Puritan Wetbacks today)
