2009: A Thanksgiving Meal
Here you may glimpse the amusing possibilities of videoconferencing with distant family on Thanksgiving.
Also seen: the video playing the Sopranos theme song is my father’s iMovie slideshow extravaganza, this year featuring a shot-for-shot spoof of the show’s intro. (Imagine driving footage of Hoboken, Westchester and, instead of James Gandolfini, my mother smoking a cigar.)
The headcount was small this year so we patched in the California Fivis’s feast with a day-long Skype video call set up in both the dining room and the den. Later, this enabled my aunt, uncle and cousins to pose their miniature selves, live, inside the family portrait.
