11. Thanksgiving here at the mansion has become a risky endeavor. The Cajun thought it would be a good idea to make deep-fried turkey, and as a Southerner myself I agreed with him. When the propane tank went out is when this event turned explosive.

12. I thought there was a fire in the kitchen because of the fire alarm going off, and I took the fire extinguisher with me to investigate. Unfortunately, I sprayed Kitty and her meal. However on the plus side, everyone won't have to "eat" her "vegetable surprise"!

13. These late nights are killing me, but someone has to burn the midnight oil. Rouge's physiology is changing due to the extended contact she had with Ms. Marvel. Hank and I are keeping close watch on her vitals. There's no telling how this will affect her, but she's stable now.

14. Logan has been wanting to a better survival training course for the students and has invited me to come along. This is going to be fun.

15. Never, ever again will I ever ride shotgun with Hank flying the Blackbird…

16. I have done it! I have managed to convince Charles that playing poker is a good way for students to learn how to read people. Of course no actual money will be involved in these games.

17. Jean, Scott, Ororo, and I heading down to the tunnels to meet up with Evan and Callisto to vaccinate the Morlocks and provide medical treatment. Charles saw this a great opportunity to show the Morlock that not all non-mutants are fearful, and I couldn't be more happy to help out.

18. Scott is coming to me for marriage advice. He does realize I've never married anyone right?

19. Ever since I came to the Institute, I found I'm in the best shape that I've ever been. Being older and trying to keep up with superpowered kids is painful.

20. A few days ago, some guy named Essex decided to pay a visit here so that way he could send his kids here. Charles and the senior staff are unsure about this guy. Charles couldn't read his mind and the guy asked me for Scott and Jean's medical records. Very suspicious and I'm willing to bet this guy isn't who he says he is.
