Crossed Giblets of Death MMXXIII

The parade was 14 hours ago?????

 

I will be watching a dog I co-own compete in the Herding Group at the National Dog Show. The show was last Saturday and I know he did well so no show nervousness, just fun seeing him on TV.

 

You aren’t exaggerating as much as you think. My friend the band director was on a bus at 2 am Eastern for 3:30 lineup.

We did get it on tape delay in the Central zone.

 

That's so neat

 

That’s one per person per day, right?

 

Our Thanksgiving is Saturday at my sister’s house, so today will be Jimmy John’s and not enough beer to last the day.

The Macallan 18, Aberlour 18 and Oban 16 are reserved for when my divorce is finally final. You’re all invited for a sip when that happens.

 

I saw them on TV in the parade today. They put on a nice show.

 

Always preferred CBS's coverage of the Macy's parade - and other parades - they actually showed the parade. NBC always seems to fill their broadcast with lipsynced productions and ends their coverage as soon as the parade gets to mid-town. Any balloon mishaps? Those are always my favorite part.

The balloons - not the mishaps. Also liked it better when the balloons went higher.

 

Partly sunny, 45-degree day in Microville. Mrs. Micro and I walked the dog this AM, texted with Micro Jr. back in Denver, Facetimed with Mrs. Micro's 95-year old dad, watched some football, strung Christmas lights on the pergola in back, cooking some spuds and getting ready to leave at about 2 p.m. for the annual TG celebration with two other families at some friend's house, where I'll knock back some whiskey/Cokes for the only time all year (unless we go back out there for Christmas, which often happens).

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

 

Winner, winner, turkey dinner.

 

I worked the first part of the day. Much of that time was devoted to a 69-year-old woman who was angry because she doesn't have a boyfriend. I used to think erotomania was funny.

Ron Howard or Morgan Freeman or Tom Hanks VO: It wasn't. Have some popped grains or grass, oysters, and whatever game wasn't too wormy to eat.

Good on ya! Talking my nephew down from making a casserole was my good deed for the day.

I am touched. And flattered. A holiday when I don't think I'll need to post bail is a thing of beauty. The only vegan at the table was me, so there were no thoughts of forcing a raw yam up anyone's nose. Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I'm working, as I usually do on T-Day, but I don't mind. The ability to work from home makes a huge, huge difference too.
