I am traditionally bad about updating this site during the holidays, and I didn’t want this year to be any exception. \u00a0I’m off to a bang-up start as you can see. \u00a0What can I say, I get distracted. \u00a0And this SOUNDS like a lame excuse, but I got a new cell phone and it has taken an inordinate amount of my free time lately. \u00a0Nothing is easy, at least for me. \u00a0For instance, I can’t get my pics to upload properly from it; \u00a0What’s the point of updating my website if I ain’t got any new pictures? \u00a0Not much, I say.<\/p>\n
I’ll limit the scope of my rambling to Turkey Day, although we had a generally packed schedule this weekend. \u00a0Some friends of ours took pity on our lonely situation and kindly invited us over for dinner on Thanksgiving. \u00a0Probably more accurately, they’d invited so many people over I think they took a “what’s two more” attitude. \u00a0Fair enough, I just want some feed. \u00a0And indeed, feed we did. \u00a0My buddy smoked two birds on his new Weber Bullet, his father-in-law did a huge one in the oven, and my contribution was a fried 13-pounder. \u00a0Lest you think we’re simply gluttons, there were over 40 people there for the meal. \u00a0He had my sympathy for sure, there is an awful lot of work that goes into hosting a meal that size. \u00a0It was a feast of impressive proportion, to be sure. \u00a0Everything came out great too, I overloaded a few plates. \u00a0Matter of fact I was so miserable I was thoroughly unable to stay around for the 49’ers party, I was suffering. \u00a0I watched it at home though, and it only added to the misery, so it’s probably for the best.<\/p>\n
So, two of the pictures below are sideways I see. \u00a0Tsk, another glitch with my fancy new phone I guess. \u00a0I’m entirely too busy (lazy) to fix it right now. \u00a0Just sort of cock your head to one side, it’ll be fine.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
