1. Sorry that there was no announcement, but, indeed, the Friday Quiz took a Thanksgiving-week hiatus. It got invited to dinner with a couple of crosswords from its old college paper. Came home late, a little drunk, overslept on Friday morning, and then took off for the mall.
2. Shocking Book Review News courtesy of Janet Maslin and the Times-- the latest James Patterson thriller isn't any good!
3. I don't have time to write anything else because my daughter is making that sound she makes, like an elephant seal heaving its way up onto the beach, a set of an exasperated wheezing sighs, which when they arrive in this quick and volube succession comprise the drum roll, the fanfare, the personal theme music which accompanies the imminent, the inevitable wail...yeah, that's it.

As a non-parental type, I find myself astonished that any parents, much less new ones, manage to get anything done whatsoever, aside from thinking "good gravy, I'm somebody's parent" every five minutes.
