However, this will be the first Thanksgiving of my French wine boycott. My wine rack has been totally given over to wines from California, Australia, Spain, Italy and other places around the globe. SO this will be a different kind of Thanksgiving.
I prefer Swiss cheese to hard cheddar. But Swiss cheese does not necessarily mean imported from Switzerland. Wisconsin and other American places make a good swiss cheese. Smoked Gouda is pretty good cheese as well. I like having that with a slab of dry sausage.
One thing that bothers me about getting a haircut these days is that they always ask you how you want it. Why I want my hair cut, how else do you think I want it? I do not understand the question. I'm just a simple guy. My hair grows for a couple of months and then I need it cut back because it starts looking shaggy. I simply want my hair cut shorter. Then they have also taken to ask you if you want "scissors or shears." I do not understand this question either. What does it matter what implement is used to cut my hair? I just want my hair cut shorter. I also deplore the "unisex" places like SuperCuts where you get nothing but gum-snapping teenage girls yapping about boyfriends and rap music being played over the stereo. I prefer going to a man's barber shop. But they are disappearing so quickly as the old-time barbers are retiring and going out of business. The barber shop I used to go to was staffed by a couple of 70-something guys who always gave a decent haircut. I was shocked to see that it had literally overnight turned into a tropical fish/pet store. Now that was de-pressing.
