It's Thanks Giving time again

By SJ Otto

It's finally time to post something on this blog. And there is no better time than Thanksgiving for such an extravaganza. I don’t plan to travel or cook. I am visiting Cam at the hospital. I’ve been drinking my favourite herbal tea. I just can’t go wrong with that. I bought a 6 year old bottle of wine for today, a few days ago. It is hussonet, cabernet Sauvignon. It wasn’t very expensive, but it is not that impressive for a 6 year old wine. John MIGHT come over and we might buy a turkey dinner for something else to eat. John made a good point that we can just as easily have a dinner some other day than this and just pretend that day is the holiday. As I get older, holidays as this one just are not as important as they once were. I started to watch the Macy’s Parade, but I got side tracked and missed most of it. Mad Magazine used to make fun of it as “Messy’s Thanks giving Day Parade”—complete with a drunken Santa saying “Merry Christmas, Happy New Years, Happy Ground Hog Day, Happy Arbour Day!” And there are a bunch of booze bottles in the sled. It was a very funny spoof.
