Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day, is not a holiday here in India but most of us were thankful for it because it meant that there would not be any evening teleconferences with people in the US for a couple nights!
We arranged to go to a very good restaurant in the city center that serves a traditional style Thanksgiving dinner with turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, etc. It was very good and quite authentic. The owner worked in the US for many years- especially at a well known restaurant in New York city. It was a good and generally relaxing meal.
Friday was unusually quiet at work and several people, who spend more time than others in evening teleconferences, said that they would consider giving up their India Holidays if they did not have so many telecons to attend at night!
Friday was also the 30th anniversary of Jim's employment with his company. The people at the office got a very nice cake for the small celebration. Where have the 30 years gone?
