    Drove up to SC to be with my sister in her new home. She’s in the kitchen with my wife cooking, and I’m about to pour a bourbon to watch football with my BIL and son. It’s a great day.

    Made biscuits and gravy for breakfast, and had a relaxing morning with just the wife and baby watching the dog show. Now we get a full day of football.

    Fun fact: Dick LeBeau’s son, Rick LeBeau, has the number-one ranked Havenese toy dog in the country.

    We have 14 people, 6 ten or under, at my parent’s house, and we’re about to destroy this spread. Hearing the turkey induced silence descending on the house later will be very satisfying

    Wife and grandmother both have bdays today, her grandmother is turning 100. Back at the beach in Alabama for that. Sitting on the deck listening to the ocean makes me want to be lazy like nothing else in this world. Going to peel myself off this deck to go over to wife's sister's beach house to eat lunch in a bit though.

    Had poppy seed pigs in a blanket and a cinnamon roll for breakfast. Just did a champaign toast with some cranberries, rosemary, ans chambourd added in. Sat on the back porch and sipped a terrible sour beer that tasted like urinal cakes. But idgaf because I didn't buy it and I'm not cooking. Reading more of the future fil's civil war book he just got published and letting this gummy and vape takeover.

    God bless

    Late afternoon/ early evening. But I think lunch time would be better. Then you can just be a bum, watch football and eat left overs the rest of the day

    My wife hates Thanksgiving but she’s technically a foreigner that never did traditional Thanksgiving and she also hates Turkey. I told her as a young guy growing up it’s the absolute best, sit around drinking watching football and stuffing your face with good food all day, what’s not to love?
