Maybe it hasn’t been exactly the Thanksgiving featured on the television commercials, where a large, perfectly browned turkey is placed on the table in front of the bright-eyed, delighted family, none of whom are sick, projectile vomiting, wrestling with broken computers (or a broken website), or bent sideways due to crippling back pain.
So much for mass marketing.
I won’t go into the unnecessary details except to say that – in an emergency session of Household Security Council – the L&T and I unanimously voted to hold Thanksgiving on Saturday.
With any luck, tomorrow will see little beyond a little laying about, though I’ll no doubt wrestle with my failed backup hard drive in an attempt to rescue the majority of the TU’s photographs taken over the last four years.
Expect much swearing.
See you next Thanksgiving (which is this Saturday, remember), Tom Chandler.






























Sorry to hear the day turned to crap.
In order to create some balance in the universe I will fish tomorrow while you’re working on the hard drive. My joy and your frustration will cancel each other out.
Best to all at home.
(That reminds me, time to back-up my hard drive.)

So glad you are back, was afraid you HAD decided to burn it down!
Thanksgiving is about being w/family, regardless. You were with yours, bet this is one you will remember for a long time.
Enjoy the day!

Hope you’re feeling better soon! Someone said I shouldn’t have mentioned Trout Underground and Troutrageous in the same sentence?! However bad you’ve got it, I promise I didn’t mean to upset the universe – or divide by zero. It just …er…happened.
good luck with Thanksgiving Saturday! We’re having ours this weekend too, actually. Maybe we’ll all set a new trend?

Probably. Especially since Thanksgiving’s real meaning has become its signaling of Black Friday, and no reason to try and shop with all those fit people after stuffing yourself for 24 hours the prior day….

And I thought. it was my fault! I’d just updated the OS of both the computer and the iPad here at SMV HQ (I love alphabet soup) and I freaked when TU didn’t respond. Ask KB.
I hope that you have recovered from your wretchedness and enjoy Thanksaturday.

I asked my daughter what happens when you divide by zero. She replied, without missihng a beat, “Shit goes wrong.” So, I guess I’ll have to avoid that…
Happy Thanksgiving.

That’s the beauty here. You’re not dividing by zero, you’re multiplying by .50
