    Thanksgiving dinner was a resounding success. Great food tonight and plenty of it. I doubt I could consume a single raisin at the moment. Is it just me or does one's ability to consume impressive quantities of food diminish with age? Without question I had more than my fill to eat but 20 years ago it would have only been a snack. Luckily I got my run in before the feast. In my current state, there would have been absolutely zero chance of a night run. Overall it was a great day although "America's Team" did squeeze out a victory in the last play of the game against the Dolphins of Miami. Gosh, I hate to see the Cowboys win. Anyway, hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving

    I don't know about this 1OldGI. The last time I visited with my grandfather we went to a buffet and at 96 yo and maybe 125 lbs he ate three big plates of food, one bread pudding with ice cream and a piece of Dutch apple pie. All washed down with 4 or 5 cups of coffee that man could eat. Today I am sure he would have eaten more than most of us. Thanks 1OldGI its the last time I saw him and it was a great day. I guess it really is the simple things in life I am most thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving.

    My T-Giving was a resounding success. I made WAY too much food, but we picked up a couple of orphans today (the folks who own the vacation home down the block made it into town this morning and I extended the invite for them) so it worked out well. I have a fridge full of leftovers now.

    When I was in my 20s, I could have eaten the entire turkey by myself, and downed a case of beer while I was at it. I didn't even get up for seconds today. I'm still stuffed three hours after supper.
