Thanksgiving day. Day 13 of a cold. Breakfast at home with Patrick: chocolate multigrain pancakes, long sausage, unsweetened hot chai. Sam picked up Patrick and me, then we picked up Mom Ryan. Visited Century 20 Daly City for a showing of Disney's Coco. Snacks while watching: pizza, popcorn, root beer, water. Sam dropped us all off. I immediately took a nap. We all liked the film, but Patrick and I were perturbed that it was preceded by another Disney film which we had no expectation of seeing—a film about Frozen's Olaf and Thanksgiving. This wasn't just a short film. It felt like 30 minutes. We both felt trapped, having been forced to watch this film before seeing the one we paid and wanted to see. Dinner at home with Patrick: we decided this year to take it easy with no huge feast or special meal: leftover pho ga, taquitos. Late meal: Chunky Soup sirloin steak, a glass of red wine.
