Sitting Quietly With People

It's Canadian Thanksgiving, which means I'm in a whole other city visiting family and dogs and things. It's 1am and there's a dog who refuses to go to bed as long as one other person in the house is awake. I'm writing and getting this week's videos ready, and thinking about how my family is weird.
