She brought me a sample of the raft material to "test" and it tasted fine.

Wakana and I stopped in to the students house in Ipan to see how the filming was going. We found three of the group (out of twelve) sitting around in the shade talking and doing nothing. The rest were nowhere to be seen but these swore they'd already built the raft and it works well. They said it was in the water. I have a vision of that raft soaking up seawater until it sinks on filming day.

Life can sometimes throw a curve ball at you. Yesterday we went to eat our thanksgiving turkey at the house of one of Wakana's co-workers. Wakana had been looking forward to it for some time because she really likes the woman. She even baked an apple pie for the occasion though it turned out more like an apple crisp. It was still delicious though.

We arrived a little late. They were waiting for us so they could sit down to eat. We walked into the dining room and there was another one of Wakana's co-workers, a woman that Wakana cannot stand. I might even go so far as to say she hates this woman. I felt so bad for my dear wife.

So we sat down to eat. The hosts were B'Hai. The husband had many stories to tell about his travels. These included working in Russia in Sakhalin, working in the Yukon, and traveling in Japan and other Asian countries.

About an hour into the visit I complained of a headache and asked Wakana to take me home. Of course, I had no headache. I was avoiding the one I would get if we stayed any longer and I had to listen to Wakana complain about that other woman.
