when the blogs count to

Yes, it is Thanksgiving Monday here in Canada. Growing up, my family did not make much of this holiday; there wasn't any tradition that we really clung to, it was simply a long weekend in the early part of Fall. This holds true for me today.

On Saturday on my fortnightly visits with my parents, we went to a brunch resto where also my sister, her husband and their two girls joined us. That was about as close to a TG as we could muster.

With respect to the Kurzgesagt group, my idea of having weekly events to help people get together on a regular basis has failed, so I have ceased organizing them. I'd only ever get one or perhaps three people to join me and often it was never the same person. 

I really did enjoy meeting and getting to know N and E that I have spoken about previously, though they have been absent the last ten days or so having returned to London (ON) to visit with family. They are returning to my city today.

As I visit my parents fortnightly on Saturdays, I have decided the opposite Saturday, in the morning, I would do the Mount Royal walk and messaged N to see what he thought of mornings, hoping that he and E would agree to meet up on a fortnightly basis. He responded somewhat affirmatively though not exactly committedly.

Within the group there is an 'introduce-yourself'' section where each of N and E listed 'Philosophy' as an interest. So something that occurred to me if they do agree to join me on these walks would be to find some topical philosophy article that I found of interest, share it with them ahead of our walk, and then we could discuss it during the walk.

I suppose the last thing I'll say about this is that I have not yet messaged E directly; she is an early 20-something aged somewhat shy very attractive woman. With almost a generational difference between our ages I am concerned with appropriateness even at perhaps the least potentially offensive situation of messaging her without also messaging N. Unfortunately in the Discord it doesn't appear to be possible to create a small message group just the three of us. In person I have no trouble engaging with her in conversation as N is right there among us.
