It's almost Thanksgiving! One of my most favorite holidays, because you mostly get to just eat and snooze. This year we're having dinner at a hotel restaurant, so that my Mom doesn't have to cook and my Dad can get some rest. Since the main idea is for the family to get together, I think it will be a good time. It reminds me of a movie that I watch almost every year. I think it's called "A Christmas Story" from around 1983. In the movie, the Christmas turkey is eaten by a pack of neigborhood dogs and the family ends up eating Christmas dinner at a Chinese restaurant. They wind up eating a goose. There's a funny scene where the head is cutoff because it is staring at the family. There are also quite a few other great scenes. Next to Scrooge and It's a Wonderful Life, it is one of the best holiday films ever made.

Speaking of geese, I saw an entire flock fly over my sunroom a few weeks ago. They were only about 10 feet above me and they were huge. On Saturday there were about two dozen geese floating in the little lake outside my window. I don't know where they're headed, but they sure looked comfortable where they were. It's too bad that people can't be that serene. Everyone is in such a hurry to get somewhere else, that they don't seem to appreciate where they are.

Have a Happy Holiday!
