Going to two Thanksgivings, and a third dessert place if we can swing it -- looks like Friday's a wash.

Nothing's more American than excess, eh?

Happy Thanksgiving U.S.A.! (Do Canadians celebrate thanksgiving?)

Eat some turkey for me. I love turkey but I'll wait until Christmas.
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

So full. So very very full.

I wonder what the equivalent of Thanksgiving is throughout the world-- that one holiday that involves every family getting together, regardless of travel conditions, and eating tons of food but also at least one particular item (in our case, Turkey) as the main course.

Anyone from other countries here, please chime in and include the date so we can send our best regards when your turn comes around.

Warm Regards to all people in the world who are grateful for the blessings in their lives.

Thanks Zoom_zoom. It seems that I need to have an internet host to do this, so I won't be doing it for now.

Which happens to be Columbus Day here, just to keep things confusing. My girlfriend and I took a ride up to Kingston last year for the long Columbus day weekend, and couldn't figure out why all the stores were closed until we realized it's your Thanksgiving. Luckily, the restaurants were still open, so we could get some turkey too.

This year, the annual Turkey Coma bennefited me beautifully: Today (The day after at now 4:08 AM EST) I'm getting ready to go to work at my new job at Best Buy (I haven't had a chance to posts my news about this, but yes this is the same Best Buy I posted about that was doing great with Apple sales the day I visited).

Yes, I do know it's "Black Friday", the busiestest shopping day in the US (That's why I'm up at 4AM, because Ihave to be there at 5, and the store is opeing at 6!), great day to start work at BB right?

So anyway, my Turkey coma kicked in right on time, so I feel asleep at 6 last night, so I got plently of sleep for today. Wish me luck......I have a feeling I'm going to need it.
