Dinner here. Christine's kids are coming in tonight--she drove to New haven to pick them up.

I could catch Bourne/Wareham or Sandwich/Feehan tomorrow, but I have no rooting interest. I don't even know who my alma mater plays on Thanksgiving any more--they ended their traditional one because it wasn't competitive any more :(

A small get together with my wifes family. 60+ and counting. And everyone can COOK UP A FEAST TO DIE FOR. My contribution is my brined garbage can turkey. One of three turkeys and a ham. Wife is making candied sweat potatoes, punch.
Mother in law has to bring the oyster stuffing or answer for it. Everyone has a specialty to bring. :drool:

Use a stool!!

Stool doesn't help when it's all a throbbing. Was feeling good yesterday so I tried to skip my meds last night and am now paying for it!

This will be the first Thanksgiving I haven't cooked since I was a kid.

Growing old is a terrible thing. Never skip your meds, you'll end up paying for it. Enjoy the day regardless, be thankful you can still complain

Yea and I'm only 38 :cens:

This is one of those dumb injuries anyway. I smashed a toe and instead of resting it decided to go on a three day business trip to Charleston, SC.

That was a mistake.

All things considered, it isn't all that bad. I will heal.

With hindsight I should have planted my ass on the couch and stayed home. It wasn't even the bad toe, it was walking on my heel for a week that strained the other side of my foot. The secondary injury is now the bigger problem!

Imagine, drop a kids skateboard helmet on your foot and a week and a 1/2 later have 5 , count 'em FIVE prescriptions and crutches :laugha:

Eat at my brother-in-laws new house in Manchseter-by-the-sea. Was there before it was finished. Probably walk to Singing Beach with all the kids after dinner. Lament the fact that I again am at Singing Beach with no rod in hand. Throw the football with all the nieces and nephews. Drive back down friekin 128 with all the other wackos out for the hols.

God bless everyone...............

We are surprisingly busy for the economy which is good for me, or we are just low balling to get the work.

The most I have to do today is make the gravy

Spence is 38 going on 72. He makes me feel young and I'm 61.

Jeff, sorry to hear about the mishap. Hope you, Danna and Griffie have a great day in newport. If it were Christmas I'd invite you to "The Farm" for one of the 9 bonfires I have ready to go.

Off to one of my sister-in-laws. No kids visiting this year so Jeanne and I will have a quiet dinner with her family.

Its alot smaller now Peter!:yawn::sleeps:

I have to say I am quite pleased with myself this year! The true flavor of Thanksgiving to me has always been in my Dad's gravy! He just made the most delicious gravy I have ever had! After he passed away it was left to me to try to replicate it and I have tried now for 8 years......this year I nailed it! It came out over the top perfect!!! He would be proud! :jump:
