A fashionable part of Boston:

I give thanks that I am writing to you from the road, in Boston. I am grateful for the overdue return of good Indian food to my diet last night, and am surprised and pleased to discover that people will still dress up in red suits, gold shirts, zebra-stripe pants, and mirror shades, paying homage to the freaky giants of funk--thanks "Bootie Vortex."

Family and friends, ditto, gracias. Turkey--oh yeah. Hotel hot tub?--how did we survive without them? And all of you out there, who year after year support and encourage us in our work at NCPR--Thank you, thank you, thank you.
