Thanksgiving. My last run before the half-marathon. Two miles. When's the last time I stopped at two miles? Lots of folks out there. Families, dressed for T-day, walking in packs before or after dinner. I know the ritual. A few runners. Applaud them.

This year a quiet dinner for two at Café Flora. Prix fixe. Completely vegetarian, mostly vegan. Finally, a satisfying T- day meal. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
