In 1862, daredevil balloon pilot Amelia Wren (Felicity Jones) teams up with pioneering meteorologist James Glaisher (Eddie Redmayne) to advance human knowledge of the weather and fly higher than anyone in history.

Each Thanksgiving service is hosted by a different religious congregation, and this year’s event on November 24th will be hosted by the Austin Hindu Community.

Since the Temples in Austin are not big enough to seat over 1,200 people, the service will be held at the beautiful Riverbend Church, 4214 N Capital of Texas Hwy, Austin, TX 78746.

The event is not currently visible on the Riverbend Church website, check back later there to verify date and time.

Hotwire.com has some great hotel rates, but you don’t know which hotel you will get until after you pay.

Play is the name of an Icelandic airline that doesn’t yet exist. They do have a website, http://FlyPlay.com. If you go there you can enter a drawing for one of 1000 free tickets, from somewhere to somewhere.

The entry form asks where you live, but gives only a limited number of selections. Thinking strategically, the airline (if it ever gets off the ground) is more likely to fly to New York than to Dallas…so, you may want to say that you live in New York.

From the website:

A new Icelandic low cost airline has today announced its name as PLAY.
PLAY consists of people with a wide range of experience from the aviation industry from airlines such as WOW air and Air Atlanta. The CEO of PLAY is Arnar Már Magnusson.
PLAY flies with Airbus A321 aircraft and will serve destinations across Europe. As of summer of 2020 the fleet will consist of six aircraft expanding to ten within three years.
Plans are to add destinations in North America in spring 2020.
Sales start in November and thousand tickets will be given away to mark the occasion.
