Our friends Peter and Jerrode graciously invited us to their home for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner - Kristin's first. Peter and Jerrode prepared a magnificent feast and, along with Kristin, Dina and Mike, beat Nate and me to a pulp at Foosball. We had a fantastic time among such a stellar lineup of artists (and hosts!).

The following day we were treated to stellar performances in Benjamin Britten's Billy Budd by John Mark, Mike, Nate, Peter and Simon.
