Go stuff it

Happy Thanksgiving!

We're slowly getting back to some sense of normal.  Being away from home for a weekend usually puts me a week behind.  Out little vacation was over 10 days and our schedule is completely blown right now.  We have not prepped for any Thanksgiving feast as we normally do each year, but we are planning to break bread with the newlyweds and their parents.  It's the first year of marriage and the first round of "whose house to we spend the holidays at?".  Still, we are immensely thankful for all of the blessings we have.   

For those gorging themselves on turkey and dressing and gearing up for Black Friday, I hope everyone has a great AND safe holiday.  Remember to eat sensibly, exercise and shop wisely.  And if you cannot do any of that, at least have fun!  And take a moment to remember those who cannot be home with families to celebrate the season.  My prayers and thanks go out to all the men and women serving overseas.    

Will hopefully have pictures of the cars up by tomorrow.  

As for the vacation quiz, I think I am being too cryptic.  SR300 got close.  A few more things we did/buy/saw last week:

• Sampled more local brews (Balboa)
• Spent 10 days with my 89 year old parents and my two older brothers and their wives (no fisticuffs, we are still talking to each other)
• Got to tour an incredible engineering marvel
• Bought a new hat 
• Smoked a Cohiba 
• Played several rounds of Mexican Train

And FWIW, I have been participating in the Movember challenge.  Normally, when I go on vacation, I tend to "go scruffy" but usually shave it off when I go back to work.  Shadowrun300 and Abby and RC inspired me to keep the facial hair to see how it looks.  Although each time I let it go, a bit more grey tends to show up.  22 days and growing...
