Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

I did not have pie. I had peanut butter cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate chips, though, so don't feel bad.

When I wasn't eating all the gravy, I spent time today wearing dresses on my head and playing the monster attacking the princess castle. Now I'm thinking about getting more gravy and catching up on Sleepy Hollow.

In the immortal words of Shaggy, this doesn't sound familiar so I'm guessing Theresa or shrift.

I have no memory of this place.

I'd have said No too, Calli.

Thanksgiving brunch was good -- hatch green chile and sausage egg casserole, french toast, lots of prosecco, and pumpkin bread. The kids played a beanbag toss game and lots of soccer, which was awesome. Temps were in the mid 60s and our backyard is a lovely place to sit, even though people kept seeking shade.

Then 6 of us had dinner in the late afternoon -- turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts gratin (which was menh). Tomorrow, we'll have shepherds pie, turkey style.

Well, SOME people kept seeking shade. Nutty SoCal-istas.

It was lovely and fun.But damn, I'm full.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh hell no, Calli. There's no way.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Yeah, not just "no" but "hell no", Cali.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yep. And now I know why the host offered to walk me to my car. Anyway, the food and dinner company were lovely, and now I'm looking at my partly trimmed tree. I love drinking my coffee in the morning with just the tree lights on. The LEDs are really bright.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Jessica, so glad you are all ok.

Calli - no way no how.

Sue, I am on Skype and have sent you a contact request.

ita, I have memory of someone I know getting a pair of red snakeskin pants with like black demarkations on the scales. We did go shopping that time I came to Detroit, didn't we?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Turkey took well longer than planned but all was delicious. I counted, and we left out four starches that our families usually serve: rolls, rice, mashed potatoes, and sweet potato and apple casserole. Like them all, but did not miss them.
