Welcome to Episode 3 - recorded on Fake Thanksgiving 2015!  Since I won't be home for the real Canadian Thanksgiving in October, Mom whipped up Thanksgiving dinner tonight with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and all the trimmings!  It was delicious!

With the turkey coma out of the way, I'm only six days away from departing for my trip to Tokyo.
