Thanksgiving Recap
My oh my, what a day! After waking up at 10am and lounging about/working/napping, we (The Parks Family, Great Aunt Nancy and their Thanksgiving surrogate child - me) welcomed Fox and Jean for dinner. Originally from Beijing, we had a great time chattering on in Mandarin and talking about how China has changed over the last twenty years. Then it was dessert time, which meant a solid 24 people arrived, including a wild brood of 10 kids. It was just like holidays at home - chaotic, crowded and wonderful!

Um, The Leaves Are TOO Beautiful!
So I wanted desperately to get to New Hampshire and watch the leaves change as an official “peeper,” but I missed peak and resigned myself to the fact that I would just have to wait several years until the time was right. Not so! I’m in Bronxville to celebrate Thanksgiving (you know, when the Pilgrims came and rocked out with the Native Americans. Or did they throw rocks at the Native Americans?) and the trees here are just INCREDIBLE. Check out these yellows, reds and oranges. This is definitely something you won’t find in California (but it’s still the best place ever).

Cultural Fusion Artistically Hidden in NYC
Image
This is a photograph taken in New York City's Central Park. Of particular interest to me was the clash of cultures the subject portrayed. He depicted through his Native American headdress, spiritual chants, and the stomping of his feet the culture into which he was born. His violin and the same high pitched voice one would hear at an opera accentuated the contrast between the two worlds. At times he would stomp his feet depicting old Native American dances and at other times he would waltz. This man was clearly trying to fuse both cultural influences into one performance.

The United Way - Youth Venture event in Gardner, MA was a great time. Met some awesome Venturer's, relaxed in the hot tub and tried to steal the biodiesel bus! Sadly, I was found!
