Overstuffed with stuffing. And turkey and potatoes and sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie and pickles and olives and warm bread and gravy and, of course, green jello salad.
That's how we do Thanksgiving Day here. I think the Canadians have something a week or so back called Remembrance Day. Is that from across the pond?
Good. On the bus heading to the pub for my birthday drink. Wishing I had remembered to charge my mobile phone. But no idiot boy had to be an idiot boy.
Slightly nervous I will spend 3 hours alone in a pub but then I always am.
Hm. That's more like our Memorial Day. Thanksgiving is a day for.. uh.. giving.. thanks. And ... there's a bunch of politically incorrect history surrounding it.
But traditionally it involves obscene amounts of food, especially food containing naturally occurring sedatives like L-Triptophan and then falling asleep in front of a television playing nine hours of football. American football. American footballs have pointy ends. But other than that I'm sure it's almost exactly like soccer.
Or perhaps I'm still sedated from the L-Triptophan.
