WARNING: a long vent about a crappy day.

When the discussion came up, I informed my wife that I would rather endure spending Thanksgiving by myself in a soup kitchen then spending the day with her brother and his family.
Once again I apoligize to those of you who were looking foward toward the 2009 edition of Thanksgiving at my house.

Re-reading your first post is getting me in the proper mood to drive for two days with my kids and surprise their Grandparents (my in-laws) on their 40th anniversary this Sunday. My mother in-law will freak out that her house isn't clean, she doesn't have enough food, etc... My sister in-law just had twins, but she won't let my kids near her babies because somebody brainwashed her that babies can't be around kids until the babies are a certain age, so we have to explain to our kids why they can see their cousins even though we just drove two days and are in the same town with them. Then, once we have dry turkey (its a given with my mother in-law), we get to drive two more days home.

Perhaps we can look forward to your recap! If your coming north, watch out for the Deer. I had 5 near misses in the last 2 weeks and on Friday a deer took off my rear view mirror from the side while I was going about 15 mph. It's particularily bad at dusk. It's like I'm the target of a very sick deer video game where I'm the target. Looking forward to the recap.

We will make it home in time for me to attend Miami vs. USF @ 3:30 on Saturday after Thanksgiving. That was the one thing I wouldn't give in on.
