Thanksgiving: Another Day The Bank Is Closed

The one "true" American Holiday to sit around with people you really can't stand and gorge yourself. Well, okay, I'll be fair, not everyone is hanging out with the family. Some are hanging out with friends.

As for Das Behr... it's like Christmas-

Just another day the banks are closed.

On a lighter note

I'm thankful for the friends I have.
I'm thankful for the doctors' who have saved my life (more than once)
I'm thankful for working at a really cool company

There no muss, no fuss and no cranberry stains to ruin a nice shirt.

I'll be washing my car and war-chalking with the PSP, maybe even go an catch a movie. No really, it's true.

You see, Das Behr was raised as a N'Englandah. My home state isn't a "state"- it's a Commonwealth. I'd been to Plymouth in my youth. Seen the rock and the boat and the plimoth plantation. This was all back before "Cranberry World", and not being there bothers me. No not in a way that I miss my family, please-save it. I've been estranged from most of my family for decades. For Das Behr thanksgiving is about N'England.

Though, it may be different in the future. When I'm in the position of hosting a dinner party with chosen family members in attendance. Ah to daydream...

Yet for now in the cold reaches of reality-

Today's just another day the banks are closed.

So Sayeth Das Behr
