Happy Thanksgiving everybody even though it's not Thanksgiving anymore! 

The other day I was feeling sad because I spent most of it doing homework, so I decided to build a fort in the loft. It took a lot of work and I was actually pretty sweaty when it was finished but now it's probably my favorite place in our house. It's a great place to nap and to read and to generally wear large hats. I also do tons of meditating up there. Just kidding, I can't meditate at all. Also, I've never really tried. Here is a video, but you can see a better quality one here.

One of my favorite things are these peculiar pictures. They are quite strange and a good showing of how people long for excitement and attention, I think. Also they are kind of frightening. 

Also this cake, which was made for Princess Elizabeth's marriage to Lieutenant Philip in 1947. The recipe called for a bachelors button, a wedding band, a thimble, a donkey, a 3-penny coin, a horseshoe, and a wishbone, all made of silver, for good luck. It was watched night and day by these two policemen, whose names have sadly been lost to us over the years.

I generally live off pie these days, and let's face it, I've never looked or felt better. So, take my advice and help yourself to more pie!
