so who's going home

Home for me is always BK. One Thanksgiving I got as far as Kensington. I'm waiting for that rich relative to show herself and invite me to the tropics for a holiday.

I stayed home for the first time in my life ever (I've usually gone to join my family in Cape Cod -- and when you think about it, not only do you get the family thing happening, but: seriously, Cape Cod on Thanksgiving is kind of perfect). This year I'm involved in a play that had a performance on that Friday, and the travel to and from the Cape is a hassle, and half the family wasn't showing up anyway due to various illnesses and we were just going to hit a restaurant anyway, and my own father said "You know, you may want to consider just blowing it off this year and make it easy on yourself."

I had a small turkey breast and a couple friends over. I also live a half a block from Jive Turkey and was very amused to see the lines outside the night before.

forcing people to work on thanksgiving should be a federal offense (some professions exempted).

my friend used to be an i-banker and they made him work for like 24 hours straight on thanksgiving one year. that was pretty much the final straw which pushed him out of the industry.

i-banking was invented by the devil.

It's the best holiday. It's the most honest holiday. It's about food and family. Xmas pretends to be about religion.

Although I suppose t-day pretends to be about goodwill between a group of people and those they perpetrated genocide on.

Cape Cod, hmm? I'm gonna have to PM you for spring break!

Heh; fair warning that these days I seem to only go to Cape Cod during the winter. It's just shaken down that way.
