Eileen looks at Cindy's post. And begins to laugh. And laugh and
laugh. She falls down on the floor gasping for air. And rolls over and
laughs some more. 

"Avery," she gasps. "T-tell Cindy." She begins to choke. 

Avery sits down calmly at computer and begins to type,

"Esteemed Captain Cindy,

I must inform you that Thanksgiving is celebrated in early October in
Canada, this weekend to be precise: Friday-Monday. Eileen is currently
packing her bags for the weekend but will doubtless take on some more
cataloguing come Tuesday.

Yours Truly,

Avery

P.S. I would be careful about promising too much, Cindy. Eileen is
currently muttering something about "Crouch" and "Redemption."
