Too full to write out a coherent post. Too buzzed to care. Even the title is generic tonight. I will say the turkey turned out exceptional, as always, and the side dishes were superb. Texted with both my kids, watched Planes, Trains & Automobiles and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. In other words, I checked all … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!

Flamingo-ho-ho!
Our house is lit, yo. And no, your eyes do not deceive you: that is a flamingo wearing a Santa hat, front and center.

We … Continue reading NNWM/16: Turkey Panic
“The Turkey Exploded!”
I had a minor turkey crisis this evening - and there's still 14 hours before the bird goes in the oven. Hope this isn't a sign of some impending holiday disaster. Knocks on pressed wood.
