update
Thank you for everyone that joined us for Thanksgiving and for all the happy birthday wishes. We had a lovely turkey day, and the rest of the weekend as well. I allowed myself to be spoiled by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zammis and radiant_one. Many games were played, and there was port and cheesecake.
We also acquired a new household member, taking in one ofilostonjeopardy's cats. PeeJee spent the first few days hiding in corners and sulking, but has now decided that getting pettings is not so bad. Piccolo has grumbled about the new addition, but I think she'll get used to it.
This weekendzammis and I are running off to Key West and Pirates in Paradise. We were hoping for sun, but it looks like the weather may not cooperate. Regardless, there will be foofy drinks, and at least it won't snow.
Later this month - I'll also be out of town the 18th to the 22nd - doing the family Christmas a bit early.
Reminder that right after New Years - January 2nd - is Brunswick Games Day - join us for a full day of gaming goodness - Free!
For some light reading: the manufactured doubt industry, blog entry by Jeff Masters inspired by the recent climate change kerfluffle - basically the underlying science hasn't changed, if you want to know the truth on a scientific subject ask a scientist, not a PR person.

Problem is, I can't even trust the scientists. Too often they come up with results that are the result of a flawed study (phenylpropanolamine anyone?) or are pressured to produce results favorable to whomever funded the study. I'm not saying that's the case in this instance; just that it happens too bloody often for my comfort.
