Family, food, football, etc.. I really don\u2019t like the start of the Christmas mania, but I guess I understand it. (At the same time, there\u2019s a very Randy Marsh element there&#8230;.the episode where he bought a Blockbuster Video store&#8230;.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But lots of memories of what happened various Thanksgivings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lions and the Cowboys switching years facing a division opponent, and the other playing an AFC team. (Cluestick, Red-headed Spokeschimp Goodell&#8230;.there shouldn\u2019t be three all-NFC games! Seriously!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stoner passing out in line in front of me at Walmart, as I was packing to drive to my uncle\u2019s house in South Carolina\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, also, occasionally, there\u2019d be something new and unexpected to try. Maybe it was a guest who brought something. Maybe it\u2019s what they were serving&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Holidays in the mess hall aren\u2019t something people who\u2019ve grown up outside the Army life won\u2019t understand. Even my Navy brat wife talks of holidays on the officers\u2019 mess&#8230;..there isn\u2019t one of those in the Army; my dad would bring us to eat with his soldiers\u2026yes, he was an officer, but that really didn\u2019t matter\u2026they were his guys, even if they didn\u2019t have something shiny on their caps&#8230;..) So, new things. Maybe not things I\u2019d traditionally thought of for Thanksgiving dinner, but, really, anything goes I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since this is a bit short, I suppose I should stuff it. I\u2019ve never had a turkey filled with stuffing. I\u2019m okay with this. Cornbread dressing gets cooked in its own cassarole dish, not inside the damned bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I need to figure out what to bring to the office Thanksgiving meal. Hmmmmmm&#8230;..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this for the Cowboys\u2019 fans&#8230;..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OriB0ihBedY\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t know why this didn\u2019t save yesterday.
