We had a great family gathering for Thanksgiving. We had the unavoidable bash of turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie, courtesy of the Hilton.
For fun, we took David and Cristina to see the new Mars movie at the IMAX and the "Planet collisions " at the planetarium. To top it all , we saw the latest James Bond. Great!
Right now, I am in TT, aka Trinidad and Tobago. Four hours flight from Miami, 11 km from Venezuela, it is a hot and sweet Caribbean island. Besides debating the concerns of an International Union, I enjoy the beautiful view over Port of Spain from a resort on top of a hill. Trinidad is am oil and gas producer. They also manufacture a mean rhum. Steel drum music and limbo dancing are part of their culture.
The population is made up of Indians, blacks, and whites.
I am told that the beaches are actually on Tobago.
It looks like the Holy father has had a good visit in Turkey. I believe that if you are the Pope, you should be conservative, carry proudly the 2,000 year tradition of the Church, and show the cross...
Meanwhile, GWB is flying around the world trying to have "allies" take over the burden of Afghanistan, while Iraq sinks even further into the abyss. I think he should stay home. His place in History has already been written.
