Out of the Blue

It's been a nice Thanksgiving weekend for catching up with family. We got to spend a couple of days over the holiday with an uncle we don't get to see often enough, and last night I got to hang out with a cousin I haven't gotten to spend any quality time with in something like 20 years. It's definitely appropriate to be thankful for these opportunities, and I certainly am.

Reunited Links: Thanks Ant and Mike Martinez and Acleacius.
Play: Morphing.
Super Mario - Save Toad.
Link: Everything Right With The Price Is Right.
Story: Willie Nelson Arrested for Pot Possession. Thanks Josh.
Science: The Top Ten Daily Consequences of Having Evolved. Thanks Neatorama.
