US Thanksgiving

One of the great things about HBS is the amount of time you get off in order to celebrate holidays...even if they don't correspond to your holidays at home (there are usually holidays that correspond to those too!)

A great example is Canadian Thanksgiving...which is Columbus day in the US. So I obviously used that chance to come home, but the US thanksgiving (around November 25 or so) is a HUGE holiday here, which allowed me to perform a 5 day assault on Toronto & Waterloo before returning to Boston for more relaxation...though slightly more academic (and costly) in nature.

Had a great dinner with the family in Kitchener. Also managed to host a fun dinner party at my host's place (Tim...who was in the UK at the time--who with his room mate Mark [also my former room mate] provide me with a spare key) and had a bunch of old friends over. A few pictures follow.
