Thanksgiving Assignment

Remember, we don't meet again until Wed. Nov. 30, when we will have a question /review session.

Here is your special assignment for Thanksgiving Day:

1. Sleep in
2. Spend time with family and friends
3. Eat lots of Turkey (or, roast lettuce if that is what you crave)
4. Watch lots of football (or if you prefer baseball, I heartily recommend the DVD of the 2004 ALCS featuring the greatest comeback in the history of baseball)
5. If you must work, watch the Hugh Grant-Emma Thompson version of Sense and Sensibility and brush up on the fee tail.
