Dear Kendan (T-Mobile East Liberty, Pgh), Peter (Norvig, a head of Google AI), All, 

Greetings! 
Just a quick follow up, having sought to connect my T-Mobile Wifi Hotspot on the Google Pixel 6a smartphone to the Google Samsung Smart TV just now ... no luck this evening, and no IMAGE OF A ROCKY MOUNTAINOUS ALPINE VALLEY FIRST this evening, unlike yesterday evening. And there were no developments for example in the Google Home App either ... And was the possible 5G email 80% used text message I received yesterday a kind of Hi 5 ... and reflecting progress in some of these connections? Read on - 

Further, Hi Kendan and Peter, Barbara, All, 

'Out of the box', am seeking to open a window through the Google Smart TV with my T-Mobile Hotspot's wifi on Google Pixel 6a smartphone which I got from your store in East Liberty this spring ... and such that I could play in quasi real time or 'real real time' my Scottish small pipes or electric keyboard (basslines in particular) from PIttsburgh PA hypothetically WITH the Open Band Scottish Country Dance Band playing in south Berkeley at St. Clement's Church on Monday evenings from 8pm-10pm PT (so 5-7pm ET) with simply a camera on them and possibly the camera??? inside the screen? my Google Smart TV  ...  (saw an "inside the screen?" image or Youtube a few years' ago when I got the Google Smart TV) ... again heading toward real real time, or quasi real time (mentioned here too - https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand/status/1683154436514893825 - and in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForMusic, and think Google Street View with time slider + with TensorFlow AI) ... These don't seem to connect either - https://support.google.com/chromecast/topic/10089023?hl=en ... 

With my monthly bill having risen to $80/ month from bouncing around earlier this year between $70 and $75 / month with T-Mobile, ... last month my  "You've used 80% of Smartphone Mobile Hotspot high speed data on your T-Mobile plan" text message arrived about 25 days into my billing cycle ... 

and yesterday about 5 days into the billing cycle, I got this following familiar message - (which message I TYPICALLY receive 10 days into the billing cycle ... what's up with the artificial intelligence / machine learning interface with T-Mobile people I wonder here too)
 Monday · 7:43 PM
"You've used 80% of Smartphone Mobile Hotspot high speed data on your T-Mobile plan. At 100%, your Smartphone Mobile Hotspot speed will be limited to 600 kbps until 12/15/2023. Data on your smartphone will still be high speed. Buy more at t-mo.co/Upgrade-4G"

Things slow down a bit when the 4G broadband starts - sometimes - but I am still able to livestream WUaS News and Q&As for example ... AND I try to stream music on my smartphone rather than on my laptop ... 

So I'll keep turning on the Google Smart TV ... and see if I find developments ... but think the Thanksgiving break may be a factor ... and that these possible coding developments could be something that will benefit 10s of thousands of people / Customers, perhaps not just regarding these particular protocols and possible upcoming coding developments re this instance. 

Looking forward to further developments (and realize that getting the southeast Massachusetts' Cuttyhunk island wifi signal from T-Mobile Wifi Hotspot on the Google Pixel 6a smartphone to mainland 14 miles away near New Bedford MA the best it's been in rough estimate 25 years may have taken a few months)

Thanks so much!, abolitionally, best regards, 
Scott

Dear Kendan (T-Mobile East Liberty, Pgh), Peter (Norvig, a head of Google AI), All, 

Thanks Kendan for the information at T-Mobile East Liberty store on Friday regarding my not yet being able to connect  my T-Mobile Wifi Hotspot on the Google Pixel 6a smartphone I got from your T-Mobile store after my Pixel 3a's screen shattered this spring - and there was an eviction where I was living at the time at 210 East End avenue Pgh 15221 leading to the shared Verizon router signal ending which made it possible for my Samsung Google Smart TV to connect to the internet and Stream Google images as well as done YouTube videos. Thanks for pointing out the large Google poster sign in the T-Mobile East Liberty store and near the Samsung (and Apple) poster signs in the store too - suggesting to me that T-Mobile engineers work with Google and Samsung and Apple engineers for example. When I called the T-Mobile support number on Thursday I think talking with Nico and at Kevin the manager's suggestion - Nico wasn't able to help me connect my T-Mobile Wifi Hotspot on the Google Pixel 6a smartphone to the Samsung (Google) Smart TV via for example on the other not functioning TV the chromecast.com/help URL there. (Thanks too Peter, Kendan, All, - for your help, I think, in making the wifi signal in southeast Massachusetts from near New Bedford MA to a rural remote location 14 miles away the best it's been in around 25 years, and with the new Google Pixel 6a smartphone's T-Mobile Hotspot, and I hypothesize due to the communication between engineers at T-Mobile, Google and the state of Massachusetts). 

I'm wondering if a similar process could and will occur in making it possible please to connect my T-Mobile Wifi Hotspot on the Google Pixel 6a smartphone via the Google Home App (which you pointed to Kendan) either to 

1) directly to the Samsung Google SmartTV with its chromecast.com/help URL (which chromecast.com/help URL on smartphone brings up some links which don't yet allow me to connect T-Mobile Wifi Hotspot on the Google Pixel 6a smartphone to Smart TV ... but did suggest using the Google Home App), or ...

2 ) indirectly via for example a Google Nest wifi hub router for spreading signal around a place (and which Google Nest wifi hub router I happen to have)


Last week when you, Kendan, were out for a family emergency from the T-Mobile Store on both Monday and Wednesday ... I tried connecting my  T-Mobile Wifi Hotspot on the Google Pixel 6a smartphone to the Smart TV a couple of times, and I think on Tuesday got a one set of connecting help links from chromecast.com/help, than I think on Thursday via chromecast.com/help, with more helpful links on Thursday ... but didn't take a screenshot on either Tuesday or Thursday regarding these possible developments ... so I'm wondering whether T-Mobile and Google engineers et al are working on coding these new possibilities possibly.

BUT HAVING JUST TURNED ON THE GOOGLE SAMSUNG SMART TV ... AGAIN ... THERE ARE NEW DEVELOPMENTS (there's been progress!) - SHOWING THE IMAGE OF A ROCKY MOUNTAINOUS ALPINE VALLEY FIRST  ... THEN THE BLACK SCREEN WITH F4F7 etc and the chromecast.com/help URL and in the bottom right "Attic TV" chromecast signal (with the chromecast icon next to it) newly I think ... (where I ALSO see 'Attic TV.b' on my Apple MacBook Air laptop regularly) ... 

But when I opened my Google Home Application again on my Smartphone just now ... I can't find any way to connect with the SmartTV yet ... The name of the wifi signal I use from my T-Mobile Wifi Hotspot on the Google Pixel 6a smartphone is "Pixel_9283" ... and I use this regularly to connect with my Apple MacBook Air laptop, but I still can't find, for example, this T-Mobile Wifi Hotspot on the Google Pixel 6a smartphone is "Pixel_9283" signal in my Google Home App for example ... or iisted for example on the bottom right of the SmartTV in lieu of "Attic TV" chromecast signal (with the chromecast icon) ... so perhaps T-Mobile Wifi Hotspot on the Google Pixel 6a smartphone  AND WITH Google Smart TV CS ENGINEERS are in the middle of a work in progress here ... and I'll check back again tomorrow and this week, and find new developments either on the Google Smart TV, OR in the Google Home App ... and re being able to 'see' the "Pixel_9283" T-Mobile Wifi Hotspot on the Google Pixel 6a smartphone signal, possibly or similarly. 

Thoughts, questions, suggestions? 

Thanks so so much again for these developments, and great to see the image of rocky mountainous alpine valley initially and regarding there being new internet connectivity with the Google Smart TV (but not necessarily yet via the T-Mobile Wifi Hotspot on the Google Pixel 6a smartphone),
Scott

Dear Kendan (T-Mobile East Liberty, Pgh), Peter (Norvig, a head of Google AI), All, 

Greetings! I went into the T-Mobile store in East Liberty again yesterday - and you were out for a family emergency still ... after Monday when you were out for a family emergency - and Kevin, a manager there, suggested calling T-Mobile help at 611, which I just did and spoke with Nico. Still no success in connecting my T-Mobile HotSpot on my Google Pixel 6a smartphone which I got at your T-Mobile store in East Liberty in the spring, (and where communicating with you then helped a lot in getting the new fast internet speeds in Southeast Massachusetts to a very remote location, and potentially I hypothesize with T-Mobile Engineers talking with Google Engineers talking with state of Massachusetts engineers - thank you).

So my Samsung Smart TV continues to be unconnected with my fairly new T-Mobile smartphone's hotspot ... and the TV says: 

F4F7 (- in colorful letters on a black screen)
Can';t connect to Wi-Fi
Make sure your network name and password are correct 

(And I do have a 2 year old Google Nest wifi hub router to spread signal around a place ... which I showed Kevin in store yesterday - 

So I just downloaded onto smartphone the updated Google Home App eg for connecting with Google Nest and over the T-Moblie Wifi signal on smartphone

But still no luck ... I can't seem to connect my T-Mobile wifi signal through Google Pixel 6a smartphone, which I got in your store this spring, to the Samsung Smart TV with Google's  chromecast.com/help to be able to chromecast for example from my smartphone) 

Suggestions please now - since T-Mobile telephone support wasn't able to help this time? I may try to come into the T-Mobile store in East Liberty Pgh PA tomorrow to talk further ... Thank you!

Thanks, abolitionally, best wishes, Scott

Dear Peter (Norvig),  Kendan (T-Mobile East Liberty, Pgh), All,

Asylum journey continuing ... as a whistle blower and having called the police in Canyon 94516 and in Pittsburgh 15221 this spring 2023 ... and after a construable as murderous run through of me by craven psychopath? frederic khayat at 210 East End avenue Pgh 15221 ... and then his 'eviction' but possibly not extradition ... am back in Pittsburgh now having signed a lease through Nov 30 2024 (but could legally find a sub-letter and move forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center with warm water cure with WUaS Longevity Genetics Institute into a newly safe open 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 before then) ... 

Here's a mundane question: How to reconnect my Samsung Google Smart TV to the internet, (since I was using the router in co-denizen Stephon Owen's room over a Verizon in frederic khayat's name and paying him a bit every month for this) which stopped working around April when khayat was evicted, and the Verizon router signal ended. My Samsung Google Smart TV which I was using until then to show mostly Google images and to stream Youtube video never worked again via my T-Mobile Hot Spot on my new at the time Pixel 6a phone's broadband ... and it wasn't obvious then or now how to make this Samsung Google Smart TV connect to the internet via the Hot Spot on Google Pixel 6a phone with a T-Mobile signal. 

My high speed data just dropped down with this message (much later in the billing cycle than usual) ... and with MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's Monthly Business Meeting coming up this Saturday 11/18/23, I am relieved the signal speed will pick up again then .

"You've used 100% of Smartphone Mobile Hotspot high speed data on your T-Mobile plan. Your Smartphone Mobile Hotspot speed will now be limited to 600 kbps until 11/15/2023. Data on your smartphone will still be at full speeds. Buy more at t-mo.co/Upgrade-4G"

Just found this when searching on the above - https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/2812516?hl=en - but when I turn on Samsung Google Smart TV and go to Chromecast.com/help - https://support.google.com/chromecast/?hl=en#topic=3447927 - with my smartphone and press the Chromecast icon there nothing happens that's helpful  ... 

Thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions? (Kendan, I may come into the T-Mobile store in East Liberty to ask you in person about this further, but unfortunately I can't bring my Google Smart TV with me to show you the issue ... Peter?) Thanks.

Best wishes, abolition-ally, thanks,

Dear Peter, Barbara, Kendan (T-Mobile East Liberty, Pgh), George Church (Harvard Med Sch Prof of Genetics) All,

I just this morning got my 80% T-Mobile usage message - 

"You've used 80% of Smartphone Mobile Hotspot high speed data on your T-Mobile plan. At 100%, your Smartphone Mobile Hotspot speed will be limited to 600 kbps until 10/15/2023. Data on your smartphone will still be high speed. Buy more at t-mo.co/Upgrade-4G"

Just shared my "Society, Information Technology & The Global University" upcoming book manuscript with Ed, John, Sid and my mother (above) - and with WUaS's WorldUniversityAndSchool@gmail.com email which has access to Google Bard conversational generative AI - above yesterday with a GDocs' link, and will soon log out of this 'parent' account sgkmacleod@ worlduniversityandschool.org Google email account, and into WorldUniversityAndSchool@gmail.com to begin engaging in writing my book with Google Bard for many reasons. Am curious how bandwidth before and after the faster broadband speeds will affect Google Bard AI usage. 

3a
Also ... 
 I'm about 35 pages into writing the manuscript, Google Docs-wise, and into Chapter 4. I'm working from the 8 video talks I made for my Soc & Info Tech course in 2007 in Pittsburgh for the first 8 chapters, eg https://youtu.be/6VKh-22l-w4 ... and I think Bard will be very helpful for the subsequent possible 4 chapters, so chps 9-12 potentially, on the Global University itself, regarding 1) Large Language Models for all 7,168 known living languages, 2) a #REalisticVirtualEarth For Everything including iterating WUaS virtual campus-es, and STEM and STEAM field sites with Google Street View with Street View, TensorFlowAI - and a #RealisticVirtualEarthForAgingReversal (see PPS sets of Tweets below), 3) World Univ & Sch planning, and 4) a WUaS Academic Medical Center with WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute with 200 online medical schools, WUaS WUaS Medical Schools and Law Schools  in 200 countries and their main languages and much more .  

Am curious how Bard may be helpful even for planning re the above ... and also possibly for translation and even BEGINNING the Academic Press at World Univ. & Sch within the Google Docs' ecosystem and with translation (and so WUaS Press can move away from the Nozama ecosystem as printer and distributor for WUaS's Presses' first five books). 

3b
PETER, could I begin the Academic Press at World Univ with Google Bard AI - and with this book, and in Google Docs' ecosystem with Bard and translating it into all 200 countries' main languages? (I and the WUaS Press own the copyright to the first 5 books too ... and regarding potentially translating some of them into other languages too). And could I also begin the new WUaS form of a book with Google Bard ... so in Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlowAI ... and for publishing 1) to paper, and 2) to a new digital device, so that anyone could enter into, for example, a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs as book on a new kind of IT/device/Brainwave headset VR,multimedia room around a hot tub, etc, so as a completely new kind of book AND for iterating STEAM research, scientific and ethnographic etc., projects? (See set of Tweets below)
  

4
My T-Mobile cost per month has been bouncing around a bit in recent months since April, but seems to be settling in at $80/month now.  


5
My smartphone also isn't charging steadily all the time in this remote location, just recently, and I think it's because the cable may be old and a little loose in the aging smartphone socket .... And is the Slit that I think came with the phone in the top left of the screen between the T-Mobile name and the camera aperture growing a bit? Hard to say ... but may or may not check in this Saturday even when I'm back in Pgh very very briefly ... 

6
Will let you know how Google Bard AI works with both faster and slower broadband speeds, etc., as I learn about this. 

Best regards, Friendly greetings, abolition-ally, Thank you,  
Scott

Hi Kendan, Peter, Barbara, All,

Greetings from Nova Scotia, Canada. 

As a further followup on T-Mobile messages, 
I just received another T-Mobile text message and email (in this 'series') to the effect that  my telephone bill seems to be going back down $5 /month  - 


T-Mobile: We removed your $5.00 AutoPay discount as of 08/11/2023 as the payment method on file is no longer eligible for an AutoPay discount. You can change to debit or bank account at any time to receive your AutoPay discount at t-mo.co/AutoPay26. You are still enrolled in AutoPay and your monthly payment will continue to process as normal.


What please is the rationale or thinking for all these sets of T-Mobile messages (which are a bit confusing regarding rationale - first phishing, then update credit card warning  when I already had updated this, then with this 3rd set, that my telecommunications' bill is going down after going up?)

 
Also, I'm planning on returning to the USA from Canada on Monday.  Perhaps if I don't hear back from you,  I can come into the T-Mobile, East Liberty around Monday 8/28/23 to ask you about this in person.

Thanks so much! 

Best regards, Scott

Dear Peter, Barbara, Kendan, All,


Greetings from Cape Breton Nova Scotia Canada.

My internet access on Pixel 6a smartphone was off all day, although my phone showed that I had 5G and LTE and H+ connectivity ... when I actually didn't, - although I could make a call.

Thoughts, questions, suggestions ?

Also, I've received another email and text from T-Mobile again to update my account by 8/11 -even though I already did respond to a similar and did update my credit card expiration date. These T-Mobile emailers  don't appear to be in this T-Mobile communication loop with my having updated my account. It must be a huge company without depts talking to one another. 

Thoughts, questions, suggestions ?

Missed having access to Google Maps today without internet to smartphone (although I found a new route on a paper map that didn't appear to be on Google Maps interestingly).  

Am on the wifi signal of a large company presently, with no public libraries around, and will lose this signal momentarily as I move on.

Greetings from Nova Scotia, Canada! I hope this email finds you well. How are you? 

I'm writing from the Wentworth Hosteling International youth hostel with questions.  

I've had great near ~5G connectivity in Eastern Canada including here at the HI Wentworth youth hostel for 2 previous days via my smartphone hotspot to my MacBook Air laptop, but this evening when I came back from Halifax, Nova Scotia to HI Wentworth, I couldn't connect my smartphone hotspot to my laptop curiously. What could have changed? Peter, Barbara, or ... would it be possible please to access slower speeds for example if I've used up my faster speeds and re the unlimited wifi I understood I'd have also while traveling in Canada? 

I hope for example to host another WUaS News and Q&A on Monday August 7 at 10 am ET.

Thank you, abolitionally, best regards, 
Scott

Greetings! 

Having received a request to update my T-Mobile account email this morning to this email address sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org below (echoing the curious? text message in the middle of July), - but not sent to my main first T-Mobile email address of sgkmacleod@gmail.com) - I just updated my credit card information, as well as by using my 94516 mailing address zip code in the SF Bay Area (and not 15221), where I'm seeking to move back to on 9/1/23 (and which zip code was in my T-Mobile account Profile from before) - and where I would also say I'm in asylum from living in Pgh PA 15221 this year from 9/2/22 - 7/31/23 upcoming - FYI. This email address sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org is my new primary T-Mobile email, I just saw in my account too. 

This is the address on my T-Mobile account now- 


I was also able to add double check and verify that both of my Google emails are associated with this 412 478 0116, although I'm not getting any T-Mobile emails to my sgkmacleod@gmail.com account (partly because it's nearly full, and I'm avoiding using this account presently).

I also see in my T-Mobile account that I have the 'Go5G' plan (officially).

I may also be traveling to northeast Canada in the first two weeks of August, and recently searched for and found  - 

"Is T-Mobile free from USA to Canada?
Canada & Mexico included is no extra charge on plans for Go5G Plus, Go5G, MAX, Magenta, ONE, Simple Choice, Business Unlimited and more. You can add it to most other plans as an optional feature for an additional cost."
(https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/canada-mexico-included). And I am assuming this is correct information, n-est-ce pas?

There are a lot of details for T-Mobile to get right in all these changes (since April 2023 for me), and text and email messages - security-wise too - and for millions of T-Mobile users too ... and SECURITY-wise regarding Canyon 94516 too especially ... Thank you!

My smartphone hotspot is making surfing significantly faster than before here at 210 East End avenue, Pgh, PA 15221 as well.

Best, abolitionally, thanks, 
Scott

Greetings, and I hope this email finds you well. How are you? Quick questions: 

After recent updates in my T-Mobile plans, and significant 5G increases in wifi bandwidth speed to laptop over my new-ish Google Pixel 6a smartphone hotspot, what please does this message mean now, which I just received today M July 24, 2023 - 

"10:38 AM
You've used 80% of Smartphone Mobile Hotspot high speed data on your T-Mobile plan. At 100%, your Smartphone Mobile Hotspot speed will be limited to 600 kbps until 08/15/2023. Data on your smartphone will still be high speed. Buy more at t-mo.co/Upgrade-4G "

... and regarding potential upcoming remote access in SE Massachusetts, across 14 miles of ocean, and from the tower in or around South Dartmouth, MA, to Cuttyhunk, MA, - for some or much of August? 

I also noticed that my long long time T-Mobile Wi-Fi plan actually went up from $70 / month to $75 / month recently, per what I had been reading for months, after initial updates to the plan occurred.

All for communication feedback loops continuing ... and with T-Mobile's helpful clear communications and information technologies in general. Seeking to grow the free CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch well in SE Massachusetts and across the country too in upcoming months.

Thank you, Scott


PS, an unusual T-Mobile message from a few weeks ago - 

Re: Thanks! - T-Mobile, East Liberty, W 4/19/23 


ALSO - THIS RECENT TEXT MESSAGE FROM T-MOBILE IS STILL A  (phishing???) MYSTERY - 

Thanks, Kendan, (Peter Norvig, All), ... 

Just received an unusual text message from T-Mobile ... on M 7/10/23 at 10 am 

"T-Mobile: ACTION NEEDED by 08/11/2023. We’re making changes to the payment methods that qualify for AutoPay discounts. To continue receiving your $5.00 AutoPay discount, you must update your payment method to a debit card or a bank account. To keep your discount, please visit t-mo.co/AutoPay23 to update your payment method by 08/11/2023"  

... and am wondering whether it could be a phishing scheme. When I tried to log in, it took me to a web page that gave me an option to check "Security Health" and when I skipped this and tried to go here - t-mo.co/AutoPay23 - T-Mobile's web platform gave me an error message, with something like "It looks like we got our wires crossed".

Will hold off to see what develops.   Thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions? 

Thanks, best regards, abolition-ally, Cheers,

Greetings. I came in to the East Liberty T-Mobile store today M June 26, 2023 to seek to get  5G for all 30 days over my smartphone hot spot, having  just reached my 100% limit of "fast" wifi speed from smartphone hotspot to MacBook Air laptop -

"You've used 100% of Smartphone Mobile Hotspot high speed data on your T-Mobile plan. Your Smartphone Mobile Hotspot speed will now be limited to 600 kbps until 07/15/2023. Data on your smartphone will still be at full speeds. Buy more at t-mo.co/Upgrade-4G"

- at around 9am ET on Sunday June 25, 2023, with my billing cycle beginning on the 15th of the month. 

I thought you had said a few weeks ago that I had upgraded to the "Go G5" from Magenta plan which I had got in April with the Pixel 6a phone. 

But today I learned that I think in April I had got 

1
the Magenta plan (grandfathered in from my previous TMobile plan I've had for many many years) 

2
that a few weeks ago I had upgraded effective June 15th and got the 
grandfathered in 
Essentials 55+ plan for $45/month 
with 3G fast unlimited bandwidth 
(and that 5G wasn't relevant to this plan, although my phone has been saying 5G since June 15 and with pretty "fast" data streaming hotspot to MacBook Air laptop until yesterday June 25th when I got a slowdown message from T-Mobile) 


3
and today I got the 
"Go 5G Plus 55+" plan 
with theoretically 50G "fast" data bandwidth but then maybe or maybe not going to 3G unlimited.

(After talking with last time I started streaming most all of my music listening over my smartphone to lower my data use, and hope this helps).

As I understand it, after another upgrade for more "fast" internet today, effective June 24th, I will now pay $75 / month and potentially get 5G fast high speeds for most of all 30 days of the month if not all days, and from all places with T-Mobile coverage. 


Just seeking to write down what transpires, and re seeking to get 5G hot spot speeds like in SE Massachusetts for all 30 days of my billing cycle if at all possible please, (and possibly near the Rainbow Gathering near Gorham New Hampshire next week) and in that I've been grandfathered in a couple of tim

Virtual Thanksgiving 

Good morning, Thanksgiving friends and family, Janie (Ma), Peter and Sue, Susan, Paul, Nick, Ken, Shawn, Dennis, Linda, Stephen, John T, Jessie, John Z, Andrew, and your families, (Sandy and ED), All, 

Happy Thanksgiving! 
In talking with some of you yesterday evening, in some great Thanksgiving talks (!with Susan re Scottish Country Dancing in the 2nd half of the 1970s, - and re eliciting bliss as the music begins, and people start moving and dancing, even as an on-off switch, - will be with family from out of town, !with Nick re "wife's family" :), and with !Dennis who, with family, is heading south to New Orleans to be with Linda's family, & wonderful to talk with you Dennis, and All) .. .We'll be 'going Dutch' at 'Burgh Thai (re paying for our own meals) for those who join this Thanksgiving there. Again, my mother,  who is arriving back from Maine to the Pittsburgh International Airport at 7pm, and I, will get to Burgh Thai around 8 pm. I've invited about 15 people.  

If you'd like to let me or my mother know if you're going to join this Thanksgiving or not, please feel free to do so in email. 

For friends and family who want to celebrate virtually, and who may also be out of town, put some yummy spicy Thai food in the microwave or in a wok, and for feasting around 8:15 pm ET, and join this Thanksgiving celebration possibly even by opening a video call (with me at 'Burgh Thai :).

All the best, Happy Thanksgiving, see some of you soon, 
Scott

Also 
Remembering and giving thanks for the great Shady Side Academy English teacher, Mr. Tadler, :), re son (mirthful:) John Tadler's father, here, and in Pittsburgh, too - 

Dear John (Tadler, and your wife, and family, if interested), and All, 

Greetings on a cold rainy Pittsburgh morning! How are you? ... It's been a long time since Shady Side Academy in the second half of the 1970s, but good to be in communication via email! 

I'm writing to invite you to a Thanksgiving dinner on Friday at 'Burgh Thai in Verona around 8, when my mother returns from Maine. She's due in at 7pm, and she and I are planning to get to Burgh Thai at around 8 (and this nice Verona Thai restaurant stops serving meals at 9). Would you both, or one of you, like to join us? Their food is really good, and the address is 321 South Ave, Verona, PA 15147. (I'm going to invite other friends and family - Scots, Celts, Academics, and SSA high school years' friends too:)
