ilanaramaThanks, guys, for being here and entertaining me. *mwah*
Tomorrow I am going to run a five-mile trail race (our local Turkey Trot) unless the forecast of mixed rain and snow comes to pass. I actually wouldn't mind if it snowed a little over night, and a light snowfall while running would be fine, but cold rain and muddy trails? No, thank you.
We will be eating Thanksgiving dinner with Britt's extended family over at the ranch. Fortunately they will be sitting on their collective asses watching football all day, so they will not care that we plan to arrive only shortly before dinner. It's kind of funny to me that we will be eating store-bought turkey when Thanksgiving is, after all, a harvest festival; by rights we ought to be eating the fruits of hunting season, that is to say, elk. Then again, we have been eating elk for the past month, solid, and turkey will be a nice change.

Enjoy your break from elk. I'd love to be making the same break.
As for the harvest festival, it really should have been last month, but the Pilgrims got their crops in late and were very, very lucky.
My wife and I are having Thanksgiving Day dinner with friends. This weekend we go to Illinois for a relaxacon and spend more time with more friends.
Cheers!
