As I always do, I was in Illinois for the Thanksgiving, and I have finally gotten some photos off of my camera:

Max, waiting for a squirrel to fall out of the tree.

The new camera continues to impress — I used it quite a bit during my trip, and it takes much better photos than the old one did. It's great — I don't need to learn how to be a better photographer. Instead, the software in the cameras can get better, making me look good.

Anyways, the trip home was great, as always. I got a chance to visit with the family, including meeting my cousin's new baby. The weather in Chicago-land was fantastic — it just started to get cold the day after I left. I'm sure I won't be able to say the same thing when I go back later in the month...
