A Weather Report

November 27, 1996

Look for clear skies in the morning, high of about eighty degrees, and the monsoon rains beginning at 2:30PM. And if you live in the Northern hemisphere…

Well, folks, it’s nearly that time. Aunt Vita began warming up the deep fat fryer early this morning, and all of us are, I’m sure, looking forward to a well-deserved vacation. All of us, that is, except for the Canadians, who celebrated earlier in the year, which probably makes their Christmas shopping a lot easier. And then there are my operatives in Sri Lanka, who don’t have a major holiday until February… Now that I’ve successfully led my train of thought so far around the bend that there’s no hope of ever getting it back, let me just say have a happy Thanksgiving, and hope that none of the kids below are cooking at your house.
