Weekly Report: November 27, 2022
Observations
- It’s a long holiday weekend, so a light update for this week. Happy Thanksgiving!
- We went to CostCo on Friday and they were selling full Thanksgiving meals marked down from $40 to $15. I’m guessing they thought everyone was going to be all turkeyed out, but we’re never ones to turn down a great deal!
- World Cup updates after 28 games:
- Lots of upsets! France looks pretty solid.
- Fantasy League: 5th out of 14 after the first week.
- Head-to-Head Betting: Started off with a bad run but clawed most of it back after calling 5 games in a row.

Movies & TV
- Andor (Season 1)
Almost universally acclaimed, and for good reason. I found the Narkina 5 storyline particularly enthralling.
Hotels
- InterContinental San Francisco (San Francisco, CA)
We spent part of the weekend up in the city and used a free IHG night here. The hotel feels aged and nothing to write home about. The showers were terrible, with the water constantly fluctuating between hot and cold.
