Guy's Thanksgiving!

Hello World.

It is indeed one twenty five in the a.m. on this wonderful post-thanksgiving day. And I am on my computer. Never fear! Thanksgiving was a wonderfully delightful experience, and, despite the many flaws in my day, I enjoyed it to the fullest.
I learned from my family, as many of you dear readers may have learned in thanksgivings past, that this is a holiday that is not about the meal, but about spreading the love. Families come together from wide and far, however dysfunctional they may be, and enjoy being stuck at a table together, sitting face to face with people we never see and may never want to see. But we plaster a smile on our faces and make sure that everyone around us knows that we care about them!
Sometimes drama sticks its viscious head in the dining room! Thankfully, this was a year with minimal drama! But my heart goes out to all of you that may have been forced to tolerate a loved one making bad jokes; an uncle bringing up politics to the wrong audience; a pair of aunts who break out in a cat fight, or any number of other sad all too familiar family travesties that occur each and every year.

So to all who did, congratulations on having a wonderful day!
To all who didn't, tomorrow those jerks have to head to the airport! But they love you!


love always,
guy
