Thanksgiving was fun again this year. We headed up on Wednesday night as usual to participate in the biggest bar night of the year. J and I had some dinner at Firehouse where the food never disappoints. I had a delicious potato soup and we ordered a large za. After that we did the normal Falls circuit while taking a minute to get caught up on things with the locals; one minute equals four months of Falls doings.

Thanksgiving Jocelyn did the Turkey Trot in Sheboygan. Weather wise Jocelyn was lucky as lucky can be. It was almost 70 and sunny. She did really well and I got some rays. After that we went to Randy and Becky’s to prepare for the feast. I brined the turkey the night before and threw it in the oven to turn it into some beautiful brown goodness. We gorged on food, watched some football and gorged on more food. The wine was flowing and sleep was setting in, a typical family Thanksgiving.

Friday we headed back to Milwaukee. J dropped me off and headed down by her mom for the weekend. I wanted to lay low and veg solo. Friday I didn’t do a thing.

Saturday I went to the Pub for dinner. While there I ran into a couple of guys that needed another player for a dart game. These guys had their own darts so I thought I was going to get smoked but ended up doing pretty good and looking like a ringer; first time ever in my life. I stayed there until about eleven and then hoofed it home. The Pub is about a mile and a half away which makes it about a half mile too far. It’s still walkable but it is a hike. It’s probably for the best because if it were closer it probably would turn into my Cheers. It’s cheaper to drink at home.
