How's your week going, Alan?

Well, you know, here in Vancouver, it's Monday at noon, but we don't have the Thanksgiving stuff going on here in Canada.

We've covered that.

We're fully thanked.

That was a month ago up there, right?

Yeah.

So now we just get to have a couple days or sometimes an entire week where all of our American

customers go off and have your festivities and we can just work on product and do all that

kind of stuff that we want to be doing when we don't have all the inbound email and the like.

I am afraid that I'm going to come off as brutally American-centric here.

And I don't mean to, but I do think that the whole Thanksgiving thing is one of the weirdest differences.

You know, our cultures are so alike.

But also, you know, you have your differences.

And the Thanksgiving thing just blows my mind.

I don't know why.

The differences between Canadian and American culture are more obvious to Canadians than Americans, which is a dynamic.

Anytime there's like two similar cultures or technologies or anything, but one is like 10 times bigger than the other, then if you're in

the 10 times bigger group, you're like, yeah, and then there's this other one, which is pretty

similar, but like a weird version of us, but then if you're in the smaller group, you have

this, oh, well, obviously, these things all kind of stick out.

But the Thanksgiving one, I remember reading, this is a terrible way to open a show. I remember, it wasn't Thanksgiving done in Canada before it was done in America?

Oh, who cares?
