There’s nothing like being woken up in the morning by three bright flashes followed by a boom at 4:00AM in the morning. Very odd.. I called the police to let them know and to be quite honest they didn’t seem nearly as concerned as I was. Oh well, now I can’t fall asleep so I decided to geek out for awhile before it’s time to put the turkey in. I love Thanksgiving! It is such a good holiday when you think about it: family and friends combined with food, booze, and football. It’s really hard to mess that one up. So today when you sit down to eat make sure you give thanks for everything you have and especially to them men and women of the armed forces that are probably having a decidedly less peaceful Thanksgiving today than we are. One more thing on that note. I’ve been meaning to update my Veterans Day blog because at the time I forgot (and I’m embarassed to admit this) a good friend of mine that was in the Army. George, Thank You. I know it was shitty of me to leave you out of that post.. and I’m sorry.

With that, Happy Thanksgiving! May your bloated stomachs be round and merry.
