Why was I not aware of Travis Pitts before? I am so envious of this guy's talent!

Went to Thanksgiving dinner with friends, but stopped at another couple's apartment on the way over to drop some stuff off, so two visits in one day; and tomorrow we're going to my brother's house for dinner with him and my parents. This weekend's the biggest social whirl I've had in a while. Talked a lot tonight - hope I didn't dominate the conversation too much (someone was reading us an essay he's writing on the history of "cool" - I thought he should have compared it more carefully with earlier social concepts like "good form" or "sprezzatura," rather than treating it as a purely late 20th-c invention.)

When I've got a bunch of people to talk to and interesting topics, it's like dessert for my brain.
