There will be turkey so tender it damned near melts. There will be roasted garlic mashed potatoes and a killer gravy. There will be mushroom pie and amazing desserts. There will be 'dre's incredible cranberry sauce (also that jellied stuff, for those who prefer). There will be bird stuffing and pan stuffing. There will be homebaked bread.

Hey billytea! You should check out the Marine Mammal Rescue center when you're here. And we can take you to Paxton Gate with all the bones and raccoon penis bones and bugs galore.

Unfortunately the Museum of Natural History is closed while it's being refurbished, and it had an excellent skull exhibit. It might in some temporary quarters though.

Also, Jon B. will be around that weekend, so can all go out and scamper about San Francisco a bit if you're feeling like it.

This sounds like a plan.

David, bring Jacqueline and all for afters, if you guys are booked for dinner (which I assume you are, with the whole family thang). Pie. Coffee. Champagne. Maybe brandy in your homemade eggnog.

Did I mention the eggnog?

I will have none of this. Sob. OTOH, I will mostly likely have plenty of icy vodka.

Y'all might want to get used to that over the next month. IJS.

Yum! Lovely offer, Deb. Thank you - I think we might be slated to do a double thanksgiving this year, though. An Emmett oriented one with his mother, and then maybe a stopover with JZ's mom. If not, however, I'd love to drop by.

With FAQ Girl. And I'm starting to think I should dump my family in favor of T'day at Chez Grabien.

Deb - our normal T-Day plans are assunder this year. I think my mom wants to do something for dinner, but maybe the kids and I could cruise by for dessert?

You will not be sorry if you do. IJS

I believe in the dumping of family on major holidays.
