I had a great Thanksgiving. Cooked by some French friends. Amazing turkey. Too much red wine, beer, cognac, and Cointeau. Still recovering though. Nothing like work to make you thankful that the weekend starts in 9 hours.

What's Thanksgiving like in Canada? I don't think it even registers a blip on the radar in England. I think last year I was to happy to even remember it.

sloth is that a joke? Turkey Day is pretty much an American Holiday, even though Canada might have one at a different time. I'm sure England doesn't have one because the pilgrams weren't escaping back to that country. but who cares. Amanda and I had salmon and mashed potatoes and wine and egg nog and red licorice. when you coming down again? what's your number I'll give you a call. mine is 480.929.0102.

Thanksgiving is in October up here, the same day as you guys had it until Franklin Roosevelt changed it during the depression to the third week of November. It seems that Thanksgiving was on Columbus Day and Mr. Roosevlet decided it would be better to have a holiday in November instead of having two in October. I guess he figured it would cheer up the starving masses to have a day off from the jobs they didn't have.
Ooh, if you decide to come up here in January with your wife we should go skating up Grouse. It's a blast, smoke a big 'ol hoolie and skate on the outdoor rink with snow falling and the mountain rising over you. We'll buy you dinner afterwards, get drunk and tobaggon down the ski runs. The ski patrol hates it when you do that, but they can't fine what they can't catch. Woohoo!!!!!

Brett, how the fuck could I say no to that? just thinking about it gives me goosebumps and I can't even ice skate very well.

And also I have a bed here if you ever want to come down. Beautiful house on Capital Hill. We have two guest rooms that no one hardly uses and also a spare double mattress in my closet.

McCutcheon... I haven't talked to you in 15 months so I'm not gonna start now. Kill the suspense. I'll send you the flight details by email. I then when I see you I want a big sloppy kiss and a hug.

Right now I'm munching my all time favorite treat...

yummy turkey sandwiches.

recipe...

2 slices dark rye bread, lightly toasted
1 generous dollop of mayonnaise
1 Serving of old cold turkey
Salt to taste

Now that's hangover food for you.

BTW, Thanksgiving is the only cultural imperialism that America has any right to impose. Close those McDonald's in Paris already, the French deserve a break today. Close those military bases on Muslim holy lands. Stop the CIA's drug trade in Central America. Stop wasting $3 billion of taxpayers money on Israel handouts every year. Stop bombing Iraq to secure cheap oil. Replace all the violece with turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy! Then we would have no more terrorism! The world would love us again like a Bogart film with a special appearence by the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.

Bon Voyage, I'm on the Love Boat of life.

This year, I'm getting all I want for christmas -- and it's not my two front teeth, despite the fact that I lived in Mississippi, I still have those. I'm getting the hubby -- free and clear.

His hail and farewell is tomorrow.

His speech consists of one song: I AM MINE -- although Bush Leaguer would have been more fun for him.

This will be the first christmas morning in three years that I wake up with my santa; our plan is to discover the true meaning of jolly.
