To one and all on this sacred food holiday:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Matt and my dad are golfing this morning. Robin is putting the finishing touches on our dinner. Dad and Robin are having their friends/neighbors over for cocktails around noon. Dinner will be around 4 or 5.

We stopped at Tattered Cover yesterday, and I bought the new book by Tom Wolfe, "I Am Charlotte Simmons". I've never read any of Wolfe's stuff, but I've heard it's good.

Shannon, did you stop by my house to check on Frank yet? When you do, let me know how he's doing :-)

I believe the correct phrase was, "Turn it down or turn it off. Ladies, it's your choice."

Seriously, I nearly wet myself from laughing when I red that. Bah!

In honor of UJ's arrival, we should all post memories from years past.

I'll start.

Great Bluedini (sp?) Kool-Aid on Thanksgiving.
The Heart Attack Blanket.
Nubuck (when Shannon pronounced it to sounded like Lubbock, as in Texas).
Writing messages on the backseat of UJ's car.

Katie, I'm on a message board at SLAM Omaha and had this message posted to my personal message board:

next time you talk to your sister katie, tell her jim szalewski said hi. i know her from high school.

I wrote Jim back and told him you're living in California with Billy. I also gave him your e-mail address. Then, he posted a second time:

yes i remember billy, and honestly i think he hates me, i was a total prick to him in high school, just because i was in high school and i was stupid and young. thank you for the info

What did this kid do to Billy? At Gross, I can only imagine...

Hi there. No, I think we're going to pass on Mannheim this year. Instead, perhaps we could all go to dinner downtown, then maybe walk around and see the lights?
