Oh glorious Thanksgiving--a day of one of the seven sins--gluttony. Victor started the day off w/the annual Turkey Bowl. Fortunately, he survived w/o any battle wounds. I spent the day cooking. One good thing about having dinner w/the immediate family is lots of leftovers, but the bad thing is you get to do all the food prep yourself, which means starting the day before w/the pies and relish. This year I tried something new, soaking the turkey in a brine solution. It's supposed to promote juiciness and I have to say it was a success. We went as a family in the late afternoon to the new James Bond film Quantum Solace, good but not as good as the previous Casino Royale.
The next morning I hit the stores for Black Friday starting at 4 a.m. Yes, I know it's crazy, but it's kind of a high. Tony pretty much spent the night keeping his buddy, Derek, company. Derek was #1 in line at Office Depot for a heavily discounted laptop. In order to get that cherished laptop, Derek camped out for 12 hours.

Sounds like a good Thanksgiving for you guys. Wish you were with us also. Seems more fun with a bigger group! Wish we lived closer and I might have joined you on black Friday. I am much to much of a chicken and will not go by myself! Hope you got great deals. Did you hear about our black Friday at PD Toys R Us? Shooting at the Okay Corral, to gunmen shot dead (at each other)!
