Thanksgiving

Thursday: still recovering from clipping hedges for 2 hours on Wednesday. C was back in the kitchen cooking. Turkey dressing sweet potato casserole apple pie, cranberry something, Brussels sprouts, homemade rolls, and no telling what else. M made macaroni & cheese, and carved Ceil's turkey. I spent the day cleaning up after C, doing dishes laundry more yard work folding clothes etc and of course football.

The help desk at work updated my laptop so I can work from home. But now I can't check my personal email accounts or enter sweepstakes at night. Ugh. Help desk guy did say that I should be able to get a new laptop early next year, so there's that. Right now my old laptop takes like ten minutes to boot up.

Anna brought Goose to spend the day with Winnie. A&C went to north Georgia to eat with Caleb's extended family.

Chicago, Keenan Thompson, and Cher on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Cher wasn't wearing her muff like she did back in the 70's while singing O Holy Night – a tale annually re-told and reenacted by Paul Schaffer.

Cher wasn't the only 77 year old performing this Thanksgiving.

Which was the greatest Thanksgiving Day game? The experts weigh in. Many consider it to be the Clint Longley "Mad Bomber" game.

In the future will fewer people retire? Most times I'm ready to retire right now, but sometimes I think I'm in no hurry to retire. So much to do besides work. This long 5 day weekend isn't long enough to get everything done that I want to do.

JEFF FRANCOEUR [B-R Bio] hit into the only National League game-ending unassisted triple play in the Modern Era.  On 23-Aug-2009, playing for the Mets, Francoeur lined out to Phillies second-baseman Eric Bruntlett, who then stepped on 2nd base, getting the runner who'd left too early, and tagged out the runner coming from first. Watch the whole thing here. He was inducted with the first-ever class of the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame. GA HS FHOF in 2022. He is the lead television analyst for the team he played for the most (the Braves), for whom he played 2005-09. In his 12 seasons in the majors, he played for eight teams and played and either with or for eight Hall of Famers, thirteen MVPs and seven Cy Young Award winners. Check here for complete list.
