Had a good Thanksgiving dinner at church, sitting with ekemom, eke-sorta-gf, eke-sorta-gf’s daughter (who didn’t eat a damn thing, and played with her sweet tea all night, as she always does), and our pastor and his wife. We had an auction of 16 items to benefit our missionary in Jordan. Now chillin’ at home. ---

Practiced clarinets and piano today. My piano’s named Cecilia, after St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, whose day is today. I’m not religious, I just like that bit of trivia. ---

Managed to give the lawn it’s last (I hope) cutting this AM, we’re supposed to get below freezing tonight and that should put it to sleep until March. Lunch was at the Sunny Street Cafe, a little place for Breakfast and Lunch and I had their BLT with chips and a side salad, so all was well with the world. Spent the afternoon either watching tackleball or napping, so a successful Sunday PM of doing nothing was added to the rolls. Two days of work this week then drive up to see my brother in Saint Louiee for T-Day. ---

**Midget** , I don’t have a piano to name, iffn I did, I might call it Cecilia. OTOH, iffn I has some bologna I’m pretty sure it’s first name would be O - S - C - A - R. 😃 Dinner was beef & snow pea stir fry in a spicy peanut sauce. Now there’s clean-up & getting everything ready for tomorrow, which means a bunch of reading & filling out some forms but I just wanna go to bed, I’s tarhed. ---

I worked, came home, walked Gordie, and made dinner. Now I’m heading out to Tirn Na Nog to shut it down in style. 😃 > [@WildBlueYonder](#): > > waiting 😛 Well the bassist was pelting the fiddler with plastic cups during the 2nd encore. How’s that? Welcome , **fish**! ---

Mah Colts won. Hasselbeck is now 3-0 as our starting QB. I can dig that, but get well soon, Andrew Luck! I’m now roleplaying with Callie at her restaurant, meeting a new acquaintance, a female dwarf. ---

Landlady knocked on the door letting us know that it’s supposed to get below freezing tonight and the next few nights, so it’s a good idea to keep our faucets trickling. Which was done, thanks for the heads-up. Space heater thus far is keeping us, if not toasty, at least warm enough. ---

So they had to close the pub early, so I ended up spending more on cab fare than on booze tonight.:dubious: > [@kopek](#): > > I can think of a couple jurisdictions where ------------- 😉 > > The Vikings lost ------- but at least it was to the Packers. The Lutheran in me finds that acceptable but just barely. [Nelson]HA! HA![/Nelson] But there was a guy at the pub who had a shirt that said “The liver is evil, and must be punished” 😃 ---

Mothers side of the family. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/getting-to-work-on-time-a-commuting-mmp/737683.md?page=15)
