I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

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.

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.
