Happy Thanksgiving!

[LuFins Dad]

How are ya’ll celebrating? We’re taking a couple stacks of blankets to give away to the poor at the Mattaponi Rez near Williamsburg.

I have no obligations today. But, as a curiosity, I note that I'll be practicing some music and studying some math that were created around the time of the first thanksgiving.

We’re in suburban Atlanta, going to dinner at the house of a friend of Mayla from her hometown in Peru. She’s married to a long time piano dealer here. (I wonder if he knew Larry). Mayla’s cousin and her son will also be there.

We’re arriving early so I can make my butternut squash soup.

[LuFins Dad]

Oh, I’d bet that they knew each other.

[jon-nyc]

Should be an interesting chat.

Having orphaned friends over. Buttermilk brined turkey breasts, mashed sweet potatoes, corn pudding, hard rolls and a green veggie player to be named later. The Calling Dutton Ranch Chardonnay, either Testarossa Pinot Noir or a nice Margaux.

I miss Larry’s Thanksgiving post.

Home. Kids. Grandkids. And piano teacher couple (He does jazz, she is classical. Met in conservatory. )

Have Paul Robeson singing traditional Americana on the playlist.

Family and friends, at my daughter's house, 15-20 people I'm not sure exactly who is going.

[George K]

Tomorrow.

Nothin' today other than preparing the turkey.

Mean tweets, baby!

[Horace]

He is wishing happiness to those of us who aren’t lunatics trying to destroy the country, and also to those of us who are. Magnanimous.

[Copper]

There are very fine people on both sides.

Inspiring.

If a prominent Democrat issued a happy thanksgiving message that was 80% anti-maga screed I’m pretty sure you guys would have a three letter acronym for it.

If some progressive wrote a note wishing happiness to all the white supremacists trying to destroy our very democracy, I would think they had too much of a sense of humor, and that they were going to be eaten alive by their own tribe.

It would be deplorable and garbage.

So we went to a a turkey farm to buy a live turkey. We picked one out and the man there said that he'll have the tom killed and plucked in about 15 mins. My wife said, "it's a TOM????" and she said she'll kill it herself. She got the ax and then cut off it's head.

(Not a word of that is true--but,) Happy Thanksgiving!
