Had a very nice Thanksgiving yesterday.\u00a0 Stan, Dave N., Dave & Jen & Anna, and Lee & De and Rachel all came over around 3, we sat down for dinner around … 6:30ish, I think, and a good time was (it appeared) had by all.<\/p>\n

We ran into a few problems with the turkey fryer blowing the breakers on two of the circuits we had it on.\u00a0 We eventually unplugged the garage fridges and that solved that problem.<\/p>\n

So, fried turkey (yum), Margie Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Gravy … green beans, alas, were forgotten until the last moment.\u00a0 Some choice wines from the cellar.\u00a0 Pecan pie (by me) and apple bread pudding (by De) for desert.<\/p>\n

Good times.<\/p>\n

Today:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cleaning people come.<\/li>\n
  2. Need to get back into the NaNoWriMo thing for today.\u00a0 Both Kay and I are in striking distance!<\/li>\n
  3. Margie’s upgrading her machine to Win7.<\/li>\n
  4. Need to cook one more turkey.<\/li>\n
  5. Relaaaaaaaxxxxx …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That last point is important.\u00a0 The advantage of Thanksgiving being on a Thursday is (if your job is that way) you get a four-day weekend.\u00a0 The disadvantage of it is that you spend the very first day of that four-day weekend running around like a lunatic (for “you” read “I”).<\/p>\n

    So … realaaaaaxxxxx … except for making the mistake of checking my email and seeing unpleasant things going on in Europe.\u00a0 Oh, and doing NaNo.\u00a0 And … um … whatever else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
