turkey day review ...

you may recall the dissatisfaction I previously expressed with respect to missing out on halloween. well folks …now I have a new holiday to look forward to next year.

thanksgiving seems like a pretty sweet deal … even from in here.

it does not get much better than resting [well-fed] in a warm and dark environment, listening to football all day.

even better, there were many happy to voices to enjoy. some were familiar and others new. it was really nice to hear the graham-parents and aunt beth.

the only real complaint I have to report is the sensation that my home was getting smaller. also … I am a little concerned about this buster guy. he seems to get a lot of attention. i hope he is ready for some competition.

i am a lucky little man ...

thank you to everybody for all of the wonderful, generous gifts

i am very lucky to have a such a great extended family

i look forward to meeting you all very soon

i'll stay inside thanks ...

miley cyrus is in town ... ehhh.
johnny lang is also here ... at the state theatre.

when is yonder coming back ?

now i am really getting excited ...

today is dad's birthday and if his experience is representative of what i have to look forward to ... count me in.

a day off of work
a road trip with his best gal
and a nice haul of presents

but dad also made the day a productive one as well ... taking an entrance exam for graduate school

i will follow his lead and claim the dependent tax deduction as my contribution for the good of the order
