It’s Thanksgiving Week here in the US, and I will be taking most of it off to spend quality time with my people. A continued case next week means no travel on the backend, so I am coming off the holiday to a week in the office, which is a luxury (I was supposed to be heading back across the ocean, so yay). Only one work gig left for the year–I made a concerted effort to take most of December off the road, in stark contrast with last year, where I was gone the entire month of December. We’ll be celebrating a milestone birthday for Sasha, our wedding anniversary, and of course, Christmas and Hannukah. Basically, just trying to regroup after one of the busiest years yet. But we’re not there yet.
I won’t be posting much this week. Come back tomorrow for our 2019 gift guide. Until then, here’s what caught my eye since last we spoke:
