Thanksgiving day dawned sunny and frosty in the Seattle area, and having no kitchen responsibilities this year at either of the two get-togethers I was invited to, I decided to do the rounds by bike. The first leg, 22 miles from Issaquah to my friend's house in north Seattle, was a bit nippy at first but delightful with the sunshine and minimal road traffic. Had a great afternoon there, then near 5PM took off on the bike for a short 6 miles to an evening get-together with other friends. These folks had small children so I expected it to end early, but at 9:30PM it was still in full swing and I suddenly realized I'd better start back home. Got lazy and threw the bike on the bus for most of the homebound leg, but had a splendid (if chilly) ride for the last 5 miles under the gorgeous full moon. A great day!
