Yeah, he called me last night to tell me about it!
He couldn't understand why I went home; i couldn't quite get across to him how hard it would've been to work at 5 in the morning the next day!
My bro was definately overmarinated!
Off to a wedding now; I'll be up for 24 hours by the time this hellish day is over.
Later,
Rick

You Bomba's are too kind for words, welcoming me to the fold like that. This could be the start of a beautiful friendship (I need a relative with access to a four wheel drive, in exchange I bring to the table a family tree that goes back to the Mayflower and a place to stop over in W. Dennis or NJ).
We persevered on Turkey Day with six of 18 showing up, two were two hours late because they...well whatever it was I can be thankful for they did it on the way and not in my house. One of the joys of a range-fed, antibiotic-free, 18lb., slow cooked, brined turkey is it doesn't dry out if some of your guests stop on the way to sample mushrooms. I was a little bummed the brandy pyrotechnics I had planned didn't pan out, but the dish was a success and gave some of the younger crowd a new appreciation for brussels sprouts. I was feeling no pain after the Yellowtail Cab-Sauv-Blanc kicked in, the better part of two bottles and some Frangelica later I declared it a total success in the face of adversity and called it a day.
Well now, my new brothers, to whom should I send my xmas list?

Something tells me I'm walking into a trap on this, but yes, ChrisL, the family tree has some pretty long branches. As a matter of fact with college costs rising I'm hoping the Mayflower Society and the D.A.R. can cough up scholarships for my girls.
Brother Rick - My list is short. I want Teri Hatcher for one night (preferably on a full moon) without my wife holding it against me. I want the Gibbs SKipper back that I lost at West Dennis Beach back in September, and I want my 9 year old's arm to get better; I miss her doing cartwheels thru the house while she sings to herself.

Nope. Actually, if you look across LI Sound from roughly where you are right now and see the red and white LILCO stacks, that's where my life's journey began (though there's pretty compelling evidence I was conceived on Cape Cod after a clam bake in '57).
