Well, you've read the notes, the notes were uncomfortably full, and now it is time for you to post until the uncomfortably full cows come home.

And the word of the day is: CAVORT!

[George]

Last night, I did go down the rabbit hole of The Meidas Touch.  I just can't get enough of their legal analysis.

Good morning, all!

[elmore3003]

I hoped to sleep longer, but I am the slave to three spoiled cats.

I enjoyed reading everyone's Thanksgiving day. I had a nice dinner from Cafe Viand, courtesy of Joshie and John Bell. The dinner was enormous and quite delicious; I'll have the second half for dinner tonight.

[elmore3003]

DR Jeanne, I have very little gossip on La Streisand, but I would be curious to read her tome.

[elmore3003]

DR vixmom, thanks for the update and photos of DR WFO; he's such a good man.

[ChasSmith]

Good morning, all.

[ChasSmith]

And good post-T-Day wishes to everyone.

[ChasSmith]

Enjoyed the pictures from vixmom, and it’s great to hear about everyone’s day.

Loved hearing about the El Torito visit. I miss having them around.

It’s still incredible to me that when I moved from LA to Danbury in 1988, there was an El Torito right here. It was here for a couple of years before it and the surrounding property were razed and developed into a business park. I mourn that 30-plus years later.

My last El Torito in CA was the one at the Redondo pier. Before that, there were one or two we frequented but I’ll have to think about where they were. Marina del Rey seems logical but I’ll have to do some research. I expect BK’s and DR Jeanne’s was after my time. At any rate, I didn’t know that one.

[ChasSmith]

DR Ginny, Bob Evans seems like a good place to get this kind of dinner from. How did it go?

Our Stew Leonard’s was fine, but this being our first time, we had to find our groove with the unpacking and reheating. If we do it again we’ll be ready. But how nice it was, for once, not to spend the better part of two or three days prior, plus the day of, doing the enormous amount of preparation that had become such a ritual.

[ChasSmith]

So, Friday. And the Friday TOD.

We got hooked on watching some 60th anniversary JFK documentaries, and I started listening to the commentary for The Devil and Daniel Webster, but I’ll have to finish that later.

Tonight I’m attending the opening of this year’s Wreck the Halls. This being my year to take the holidays off from playing shows, it will be superbly enjoyable and fascinating to watch from the audience, to see two new cast members and see/hear two new numbers, and to hear the whole thing led and played by somebody who isn’t me!

I had a very nice Thanksgiving celebration with family (of sorts).  I am only directly related to Butch, his daughter Ashley, his son Benjamin and Ashley's son Anderson.  I am an in-law relation to Clay Keller and his sons Cross, Cade and Stone.

The food was excellent, and Clay prepared the majority of it including dressing from his mother's recipe. It was very good. We had turkey, ham, dressing, sweet potato souffle, pineapple souffle, some sort of cheesy souffle and pecan pie for dessert.  There were two kinds of cranberries: Canned sauce and something Ashley whipped up.

Table conversation was lively, we all had a very good time, and Sharon, Butch and I left shortly before 3 pm.

I am now recovered, as it were, from the trip, the excess of good cheer and food, and ready to face my next challenge:  The drive out of town tomorrow to a funeral.  My cousin Debra and I wlll represent our moms at the funeral of the last close relation in the Brooks line of our family.  All remaining relations are 2nd and 3rd cousins and beyond.  This line of family is my maternal grandmother's family.

Sunday will be another day of recuperation followed by an evening of prepping for Monday morning's colonoscopy.

Oh.  Joy.

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Slept 10 hours and am very happy about it.

[John G.]

Lazy work-related dreams. I got asked back to work at the newspaper. Everyone around me was welcoming me back. But I didn’t want the job offered. And nobody seemed to believe me when I said I wasn’t taking it.

[John G.]

I should finish decorating today. Maybe do some gardening.

[John G.]

TOD:

I have eight movies on reserve at the library that have come in. Can’t remember a single one except Oppenheimer.

[singdaw]

DR John G.'s ship has come in!

[singdaw]

Good morning, friends.

[singdaw]

Likewise recovering from my tryptophan haze.

[singdaw]

  I should finish decorating today.

[Jane]

DR Vixmom your side dishes looked very good.  What was in the Bowl & Basket?  I have never seen that before.

[Matthew]

Good Morning!  Happy "Day after" Thanksgiving.  Hope everyone has recovered nicely.  I'm off to Sausalito for the day with a few friends.  We'll see what we see - I've only ever been once.

[Jane]

Vixmom the chocolate dessert was not only pretty but looked delicious.  I personally would have only enjoyed the ice cream with it.

OK, I found my answer, tuxedo chocolate mousse cake.

[Jane]

DR Matthew I am glad your evening was great.

[Jane]

Wonderful report on DR WFO.

[Jane]

From DR Rodzinski:

Had Thai lunch from a food truck in Vancouver, BC. Then the Mrs surprised me with a mini turkey meal at dinner time with the kids. So we had a wee American Thanksgiving after all.

Aw, that is nice.
