Today was our annual “Thanksgiving 2″. We got up at six, left Bryan at seven, and got to Paris just after 12noon for Thanksgiving dinner with Lori’s mom and grandparents.

I’ve had the “bah humbugs” for three years, now.
Here’s the beginning of a list of why’s.

the canned music in every freakin’ store
the Salvation Army bell at every entrance
