We Gave Tanks

We had another wonderful Thanksgiving Day at #1’s abode yesterday. He made the bird and all the guests kicked in with some savory side dishes to make a fine feast. I actually took it relatively easy, only going back for seconds on the stuffing and green beans. My wife made two desserts, and Katie brought a huge pumpkin pie/crumble that I should have grabbed more of on the way out the door. #1 started us out with a cocktail tasting, beginning with a Last Word and finishing with a Black Manhattan, which contains Amaro Averna.  I’ve already added it to my next Total Wine order, per my wife’s instructions.  As #1 said, "We are all richer for knowing one another."

JLo also had a great Thanksgiving, and it was not staged at all.

RFK had a fictional Thanksgiving, swapping out the McDonald’s chow down from last year with some healthy fare. I guess if you can have a digital lover, you can have some photoshopped food.

That pic came from the Daily Beast, which I peruse daily because, as I’ve mentioned before in reference to my workouts, I am a beast. They have an interesting strategy in that many articles about Trump start with “Trump, 79” and they often refer to people in the administration as “goons”. No disagreement here.

Most of the Thanksgiving crew will be getting together again tonight.  We are having dinner at The Tonga Room before heading over The Masonic to see Sarah McLachlan. Many of the women have seen her a few times at the Lilith Fair, but this will be my first time. I’m anticipating a great show.

What’s a blog post without football? My week 13 began abysmally yesterday. I lost all three games but so did the majority of my opponents. I have Philly taking today’s game, but I am not very confident with that choice. Here are Sunday’s and Monday’s picks. Keep your money in your pockets this week.
