I’m Full

Since my parents and I were on the road Thursday (Thanksgiving), we had our large meal today. It consisted of traditional Thanksgiving fair; including stuffing, mashed potatoes & rutabaga, carrots, dumplings, pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce. And of course, the main dish — tofurky.

I ended up making this year’s feast, since my mother apparently sprained or broke her foot a few days ago. The meal turned out quite excellent. And I am quite full. We watched a movie, an odd 70s cult movie. Then a bit of tv, and now I’m about to go to bed. I watched a decent portion of some tribute to Tom Brokaw, narrated by none other than.. Tom Brokaw. How conceited is that?

What a blowhard. And the inaccuracies made me wince. It was like watching decades of slanted media packed into a single hour. The glorified photo shoots that made up the Reagan presidency. The selling of the Gulf War. So on and so forth. Was enough to make one sick. I came away from the program disliking Brokaw more than I did going into it.

But ah well. Visitors — be sure to vote in my news poll to the right! No pop-ups or redirections! Just simple polling goodness! mmm, tasty.
