Thanksgiving memoires

The In-Laws have come and gone.  The leftover turkey is just about
finished too.  I figure a couple of cassaroles ought to finish the
bird.  Only dark meat is left.  I came down with a cold Friday
morning just after the last In-Law skeedaddled.  I spent the next
two days sleeping off as much of the cold as I could.  That, and
upgrading my sister-in-law's computer for her.  I must have been
awake on Sunday, too, because I remember my eyes being open and
seeing people.  Oh, and we have four extra girls sleeping over
for the weekend, too.  The kids had lots of fun, so I am told.

Jessica is facing some trauma today.  She has a large birthmark on
her back and it is time in her life to have it removed so it doesn't
cause trouble later in life.  Poor kid.  This isn't going to be a fun
day.

By the way, it's rainy today; real rainy.  I drove to work listening to
the rain tapdance on my car roof and windshield.  When I parked the car, I
reclined the seat and took a short nap before entering the building
for work.  I'd still be out there if I had my druthers.

"That's the news from Lake Wobegone, where all the women are strong,
all the men are good looking and all the children are above average."
