Sunday Night (Post Turkey) Links

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. In light of all the tumult in the National housing market and credit markets of late, I'd say that all of us in New York have much to be thankful for. After taking the long weekend off and taking in some fresh air in the country, I am inspired and ready to blog my heart out between now and Christmas break. So, check back often, as I am sure the content will be flowing. Here are some pertinent links from the weekend:
