Thanksgiving at my house turned out to be a big success. There were 11 of us and lots of leftovers. I thought the turkey was still a little dry (maybe I should have injected it again while it was cooking) but the turkey tasted great with the gravy I made. My wife made the stuffing, mashed potatoes and salad. Her parents brought the honey-baked ham and cranberry sauce, and her relatives brought drinks, yams, and vegetables.
We got away from the start of the holiday shopping season by heading out to Las Vegas for the weekend. We stayed at the Excalibur as room rates were very high due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. It was a pretty relaxing trip and it was nice to leave knowing that I didn’t lose money at the blackjack tables for a change.
I did get sick on Thansgiving day and haven’t been able to shake it off yet. This is the second time I’ve been sick in the past 2 months. I hope this is it especially since I didn’t get a flu shot this year.
