Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and to anyone else who wanders by!

When I was a teen and could eat vast quantities of food with no real penalty, my friends and I used to trap line between several thanksgiving meals, carefully planning start times, which homes featured exotic items like oyster pot pie and who made the really good deserts likely to disappear quickly. Which drunk uncle would offer up some beer, or maybe even a glass of scotch! Trap lining was not considered unusual or rude by the host families, unless you forgot to leave your boots at the door.

The "kid's table" deserves mention. It's the happiest place in the house, with noble traditions spanning at least several generations. Placing a kernel of corn over your front tooth and smiling sweetly across the room at your mother. That satisfying startle mom could never quite suppress. Black olive finger caps on all ten digits. Poking your cousins. Rude noises. In my family, which tends to longevity, you can remain at the kid's table almost to middle age, depending on the size of the dining room table.

Iddn't it funny how your description of a Family Thanksgiving closely mirrors our discussions here in Weigantia... :D

Happy TurkeyDay to all..

Ya'all will find that, between now and Thursday, I will be a little more circumspect and subtle..

Don't get used to it.

I am just psyching myself up for the End Of Year Weigantia Fund Raiser!!! :D
