Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! To celebrate Thanksgiving we invited several friends to dinner. We had traditional Thanksgiving fare. Marty brined our turkey. This means he soaked it overnight in vegetable broth. The turkey was very moist and delicious. Marty also made his special cheesy, garlic mashed potatoes! Sarah made traditional Southern-style white corn bread dressing. Our guests contributed to the meal also.



Anila made a delicious broccoli casserole and a sweet potato dish. Jody came to the rescue and made perfect gravy.



We had a total of 10 guests. Starting from the top right and moving counter-clockwise: Paul, Meme, Rodney, Anila, Albert, Jody, Doug, Liz and Sarah (Marty took the photo).

First Wharton Hockey Game

Marty hit the ice for the first Wharton Wildmen hockey game of the season on Friday. The draft was held about a week ago and three teams of around 30 MBA students will play each other for the rest of the school year.



Marty's team lost the first game 4-2 but Marty played well on defense, stopping several scoring attempts and getting one of the assists for his team.

Countdown

One month to go!!!! On November 7th with just one month to go Dawn and Sarah went out on the town. They met up with other Wharton Partners at a piano bar. Unfortunately, because both ladies are in their last month of pregnancy, going out was more work than it was fun. Sarah and Dawn returned from the club less than 2 hours after they left. Sarah had a sore back and Dawn a sore throat.

Child Birth Class

This Saturday we took our "Preparation for Child Birth Class." The class was organized and taught at Pennsylvania Hospital. Pennsylvania Hospital was the nation’s first hospital! We took our class in the original hospital building.



We learned all about the birthing process. The best part of the class was when we learned relaxation techniques. The instructor taught back massage and hand and foot massage. Marty learned new techniques and refined his skills!
