The turkey has been in our aging Brinkmann smoker since 09:41 EST. A cold, but not too windy day will help the smoking process, and make this year’s bird the best ever. Until next year, that is.
Happy Thanksgiving!

One of my favorite weeks of the year looms on the horizon: Thanksgiving week. I’ve taken off the post T-day Friday for more than 25 years; at that time, I was an itinerant computer systems installer, and the PTDF was spent, ahem, doing paperwork, as official timesheets will show. Truth is, all the paperwork [...]

The tradition of the wreath is still somewhat bittersweet; when we [...]

I’m delighted to be able to send them. I enjoy their sincere thanks for their beautiful flowers.

Loving me some November. Veteran’s Day is on Tuesday this year, so I’m taking off tomorrow. Bing! A four day weekend.
And, the Friday after Thanksgiving has been a traditional day off since the early 80’s, when my job involved 100% travel. The post Turkey Day holiday was then spent, ahem, Doing paperwork. [...]
