Happy Thanksgiving !



Thanksgiving breakfast. Burger King 89¢ pancakes, coupon hash browns, French toast sticks and topped with a McDonald's Egg McMuffin.



Local Starbucks in the spirit.



Salvador Dali street art on 35th street.



Finally did a Black Friday sale. Ordered a Cast Iron pan and two ties. Having it shipped (free over $50) to my job to beat the crowds.



BBC-A has a Star Trek marathon.The second episode ("Where No Man Has Gone Before") has Mark Piper (Paul Fix) as the ship's doctor.

Kirk's middle initial is given as "R." in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and is seen clearly on the gravestone fashioned by Mitchell for Kirk; subsequent episodes use "James T. Kirk". His middle name was revealed to be "Tiberius."

Janet McTeer and Cush Jumbo will star in the Public Theater's free Shakespeare in the Park production of The Taming of the Shrew. An all female cast.



Even Google wished me Happy Birthday after I signed in.



Added a card to my list of gifts.

Ordered with a coupon. My gift to myself.

History unfolding right before your eyes, happened again on 09/11. Can't believe it was 50 years ago.



Both Time Magazine and The New York Daily News have reprinted their editions from fifty years ago. Fascinating to read and the ads interesting to compare to today's pitches. 5¢ for the paper.
