Mornin'
Sun's out here. But it's a chilly day. I'm just havin' muh coffee and waiting a bit before I start powering up the noise making equipment. Gotta re-clear the leaves once more afore the decorations go out. So I'll do that and then make Jr. get out and help me haul down from the ~attic~.
We're enjoying the fact that we have no rehearsals today, and I don't have on until 3:00 p.m. tomorrow.
Decided not to make the trip home.

Be careful, man. Remember what happened last year!
Hi All!
Yep...made the flight yesterday morning with no problems. 2-hour layover in Nashville was kind of a bummer but I brought plenty of book along. 'Course by the time I got to Raleigh the car rental place was down to the tanks. The smallest thing I could find was a LeSabre.
Dinner preparations were well underway when I got there. Thanks to my nephew who prepped the coconut, we had coconut cake with the fresh stuff the way it was intended. Note: never fix sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, or pumpkin pie because Brother and Sister-in-Law will bring them. We did okay on that except that the Violin Sister invited a friend over for dinner and he brought a pumpkin pie. We were still down one pie from last year. :)
I didn't get to the computer yesterday. My uber-geek nephew brought his desktop from home and a laptop (I think. I'm not sure who the laptop belonged to) and he set up a network so he and his cousin and my brother could play some game all afternoon. The younger kids were on the TV with the Nintendo. Us wimmin folk were sittin' and chatting most of the time between dishwasher loads.
Hope everyone had a great Turkey Day!
Last night, I was flipping through the channels and our weather guy came on with a weather update. This was his weather update and I quote:
"I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving, and if you didn't, well, tomorrow will be a beautiful day to go shopping and get rid of some of that depression."
I just died laughing...I think that was the funniest thing I ever heard from a weather guy. I wondered if he might be slightly drunk!
