This month was mostly focused on a big work project, so didn’t do a lot of other things. So here is Tessa smiling during Thanksgiving cooking (all the good smells):

Tessa pup cannot stop smiling on Thanksgiving at my parents.

Lili on the Loose

I love putting up Yule Logs at work, and finding the most cute or silly ones to put up on the big TV. So this year I did a search and put together a list of over 20 Yule Logs.

This month I shared my review of a new temporary Dinosaur Exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. And if you check it out, swing by the Gem Exhibit to see this unique “fluffy” gem.

Also check out these photos of a rainy Grand Canal at Venice.

Other Blogs

Dreaming of beach vacations made me stumble upon a great post about the Maldives, Portugal, and Greece. I also loved this Denver Airport Conspiracy post on Thrillist.

Watchlist

I started watching Hallmark Christmas Movies but I also watched Scam City of Netflix, which offers an interesting insight in common (and uncommon) travel scams.

I also watched a few children’s movies from Trolls to Boss Baby. I thought Boss Baby was really well done.

Gaming

I got Assassin’s Creed Origins last month, but only now got a chance to really play it. And it is amazing. Here are some of my screenshots I took:

Even moonlight through the trees looks amazing.

I also completely geeked out at the Bent Pyramid. You see when I was in Egypt, on my first day there I visited the Red and Bent Pyramids. I also climbed to the top of a smaller queens pyramid next to the Bent. And this game has it! Just where it should be. So I had my character climb to the top of this pyramid too and the view was almost exactly the same as real life!

What’s Next

December will actually be a really busy month. 3 trips (Anaheim, Charlotte, and Santa Fe) and a hectic work project will definitely make it an interesting month!
