Well, it's official - Nick and Jessica are calling it quits! Happy Thanksgiving!

Memorable Thanksgiving - There was the year that the Orthodox Jewish relatives were invited for Thanksgiving, but they just said they might stop by. The reason seemed to be that they feared that the home wasn't kosher enough for them, but they did stop by and it was a lovely time, although they quite noticeably didn't eat anything. An important Thanksgiving for our family because it started a certain level of closeness within segments of the family that had been a little distanced for no logical reason, and from then on, when these Orthodox relatives were to visit, food has been catered in from outside with all the claer markings of everything being kosher left in plain sight.

And Larry, just to clarify, there will be no Orthodox Jewish relatives at today's meal.

OH! Another "Rent" comment/observation coming up...

There were a couple of "exterior" scenes where one or two of the extras would get featured - inadvertently, I would hope. I wonder if they were the ones who were set up to keep the public away. The woman in the background of "I'll Cover You" was particularly "prominent".

My brother, sister-in-law and nephew are flying down to my parents in Florida today. I'll be joining them tomorrow through Monday. It's a surprise for my parents, so none of us are telling them we're coming.

Unless of course, my parents read HHW, but that would be difficult since they don't have a computer.

Hmmm... Just checking out the ads for tomorrow's sales... I think I may brave the crowds tomorrow for the first time in years. Or not. *But I may stop by the Apple Store for their annual post-Thanksgiving sale.

The hotel we're staying at claims to have free internet in the business center. Never had that at a hotel before. I imagine you're limited as to how much time you can spend on it, though.

No DRLAURA - my leaves were still yellow/green when they finally blew off the limbs. Of course by the time they were piled up they were a lovely brown.

DR ELMORE - I just got an email from Cho Wang who is with the Wuxi Wanli Chemical Company. They are looking for a payment representative in the United States. I just have to send them my bank account numbers and they will give me 10% of all the money that is paid using it!

Wow. They had over $20 million dollars in sales in the last quarter! I am going to be RICH!

This is what the author of THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ had to say about Thanksgiving:

Quote

It's a petty custom, this Thanksgiving, and the hollowest and most insincere of all mockeries which useag has accustomed us to. The way we do it is to prepare a better dinner than we can afford, and overload our somachs to an alarming degree. One man out of a hundred and one woman out of fifty goes to church and hears the minister tell how much they have to be thankful for, and a few sound their own hearts and decide that the blessings which they have attained are very meagre, and are owing fully as much to their own unaided exertions as to the grace of God.

That said, and I only had found that comment about a month ago, my favorite Thanksgiving was last year in NYC, with warm temperatures, Alex Paige, Larry Moore, WICKED and PACIFIC OVERTURES. . .

Now if only Asslee Simpson would call it quits, too! That would truly be a reason for Thanksgiving!

OOHH!! Just realized that's there's finally an Apple Store at Pentagon City Mall now! And they'll be open at 8:00 tomorrow morning. And they're only three stops away on the Metro from Arena Stage... Hmm... The wheels are turning...

I didn't really see anything in our local ads that make me want to brave the crowds. I did see some good prices on some memory cards.

If I get the new digital camera, I'll need to get the SD style of card instead of the Flash Cards. It still floors me that people say that the Flash Cards are so "big".

Well, I'm signing off for a bit.

Vix Mom, I don't think I have your address. If you want a disk, please email or PM it to me so I can send you one.

Laters all!

What's new at The Apple Store that would be fun to get on sale? The thin iPod? Upgrading to Panther or Tiger or whatever the new OS is?

Here is something for BK to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving day!

That actually made me very sad reading about Nick and Jessica splitting up.

And it's snowing, which also makes me sad!

Watching the last part of the Macy's Parade - switching back and forth between NBC and CBS. Too bad that it seems that most of the Broadway sections were in the first hour...

AARRGGHH!! I set one of my VCRs to tape the wrong day!! Did anyone tape the first hour of the NBC broadcast?? I programmed the CBS broadcast properly, but not the NBC...where all of the good show performances are. Can anyone help??

Here is the Alias story:

But at the bottom it also mentions that Threshold was cancelled too:

In other departure news, E! Online television columnist Kristin Veitch reported Wednesday that CBS has pulled the plug on freshman sci-fi series Threshold. The show ran a distant third in its time slot on Tuesday night.

YIKES!!!!

Accident at the Macy's Parade.... The m&m's balloon hit a lamp post... and one of the lamps fell off... and hit someone... They just showed the ambulance driving away (on CBS at least).

I wonder if they'll edit it out of the West Coast broadcast. I did see on CBS that the Barney balloon had a big rip in its left leg which cause a huge hole in the balloon!

I'll probably go out tomorrow, if only to get out of the house. It's a four-day weekend and the thought of staying home and doing nothing is not so appealing, at all. I think I'll brave the crowds and go to a movie. I want to see Harry Potter more than anything else, right now. We'll see.

DOUBLE AARRGGHH!! I got that backwards. The correctly set VCR just shut off (I taped on SP, the two-hour speed) and I realized that I programmed the NBC broadcast properly, but not the CBS. Still, can anyone help?? It's not the end of the world if no one can, but I thought I'd ask.

TOD:

My favorite Thanksgiving memory was the time me and my aunt made fruitcakes and sent them off to Franklin Roosevelt and Hedy Lamarr, and then we went outside and flew kites.

Wait a minute--sorry--that was Truman Capote's favorite Thanksgiving memory.

Actually, it's Truman Capote's favorite Christmas memory.

And actually, I got to run to get to my sister's house, so to all and one and one and all:

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I watched the television STATE FAIR pilot last night. I guess it was supposed to be like The Waltons. Vera Miles and Tim O'Conner just didn't look like farm folks. Mitch Vogel was kinda scary looking - and the other two kids were pretty bland, as was the grandson.

Linda Purl was cute as a bug and sang a good "Hey, Good Lookin'" - is she going to sing that in her show?
