Happy Thanksgiving, Mom

posted by on November 22 at 16:20 PM

And Jerry. And you too Dad & Jo, and same to Billy, Eddie & fam, and Laura & Bil & Cody. And a happy thanksgiving to the Allers, Colleen, Donna & Eleanor & Oliver, et al. And happy thanksgiving to everyone at the Keck family estate.

We’re not at the big family gathering as I just can’t face getting on an airplane this week, of all weeks. So we’re up at Mt. Hood, at Timberline Lodge, snowboarding on a glacier… which feels a bit like having BBQ dodo bird for lunch. A lot like, actually. And guess what? There’s no phone reception up here. There is wifi, though, but my email is down. So… we thought we’d send best wishes via Slog. So from Dan, Terry & D.J., happy thanksgiving, everybody!

And, of course, a very happy thanksgiving to Slog readers. And before anyone asks in comments: Why, yes, it is a slow news day. It’s Thanksgiving, you see. Zzzzzz to you too.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I am observing the holiday with my partner, my 82 year old mother, my menopausal sister, and another menopausal woman, which means that no one is happy with the temperature of the house. Except us men, of course. Andropause has no effect on body temperature.

Off to eat some poor undeserving bird....

There's nothing currently wrong with Stranger mail, as far as I can tell. Did you injure another laptop?

Well, Email Administrator, the thingy for my spam filter disappeared from my tool bar. And my email won't download. Says it's offline, it won't go online. Not sure what that means. But it hasn't worked since we got on this mountain yesterday. Maybe Terry sabotaged it? He isn't anxious for it to start working, as it means I'm not checking email when I'm supposed to be, like, enjoying the day with fambly.

Enjoy the glaciers while they still exist, Dan. After yesterday's incident of tropical jellyfish killing off several million dollar's worth of salmon off Northern Ireland (must have been Sien fein jellyfish), I wouldn't count on too many more seasons of skiing in the NW. Oh and you might want to get used to treating cashews as a vegetable.
Bunny is so much better than Turkey for T-giving by the way. It cooks up quicker, tastes better, goes with more interesting wines, and is much much much easier to clean and dress.

You gonna tell your family about your love of taking you kid to bars with glory holes?

Yup, I am sure your mom is so proud...

Looks like ecce homo has his head up the turkey's ass AGAIN. *Sigh*

Ecce dear, it's so nice to see you on here again! How was your Thanksgiving? Did you spend it berating the homeless about how lazy they are, or did you have a quiet time at home with your henpecked partner and your browbeaten children? I hope you took the time to criticize the food and tell the kids what a disappointment they are to you. Holidays are so important to the family, don't you think?
