My parents were so anxious about getting the big meal on the table, no kids were allowed in the kitchen until it was time to clean up. What should we do in the meantime? What if we were hungry after nine am Mass?<BR/>In the garage there was cold beer. All we wanted, my parents said. It would fill us up. One of my sisters and I always spent the day at the movies.<BR/>But my siblings who helped themselves to the cold ones and watched TV? They're still trying to get sober. Ya gotta love traditions!<BR/>Oh, and Geoffrey, Happy Thanksgiving! That is, be grateful to yourself and who are: you've done good, coming up from down low!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306491903311869968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618884420815667460.post-89741253694324392742008-11-27T08:17:00.000-06:002008-11-27T08:17:00.000-06:00It is Thanksgiving morning.
