I wish I could be there, too! I'm afraid that I'll be spending my Thanksgiving writing papers.

 I haven't yet mentioned the best thing about Waltham. Russo's is where restaurants and regular folks go to buy the most beautiful produce in the greater Boston area. I go in for onions and come out with kohlrabi, local snap peas, and a lust for vegetables. In fact, seven percent of my total happiness can be attributed to Russo's, holding constant the weather, my workload, and how many parking tickets I have lodged in my windshield. The second best thing about Waltham, or more particularly, about going to Brandeis, is that you never have to cook for yourself on Fridays. Due to hachnasat orchim, I get to be the grateful recipient of Shabbat hospitality. As long as I can find street parking in Somerville.

 For the last few days, I've been spending my time licking the dust off horse stalls in War Relocation Camps at the foot of the Sierra Nevadas and trying to interpret it into income data for Japanese Americans in the 1980s. It's been interesting research, but consuming and less than joyful. So tonight I was taken to a Decembrists concert to stand for hours with my boots stuck to dried beer. The band threw a full sized Barack Obama cut-out into the audience to lovingly crowd surf, and we chanted, in response to the lead singer's cry of "Yes We Can" with "Yes We Did!" There was a buoyancy to the event, a unity and hopefulness about the future. As we got up to leave, sweaty and happy, I realized that sometime during the concert, someone had unsnapped my jacket pocket and taken my wallet.
I have a presentation on crime and the prison system tomorrow. Life is funny that way.

I woke up to NPR using the words "president elect Obama" this morning, and the world felt more hopeful. Particularly for my career in public policy.
