Post Thanksgiving Notes

• Came about as close as I'll ever come to recreating a Thanksgiving dinner as mom would have prepared it. Turned out good by my less than mom-like standards and enjoyed leftovers as well but it's still not comparable. More than anything, I miss those days. 
• Life Lessons 101 ..... Been working on a scrapbook using photos that I've collected. Photos found in magazines mostly. It's helping to teach the importance of planning things out beforehand. Not to put the glue into play until you're sure the direction that you want to take. It's funny though .... When you put it all under plastic sheet covers, even what you were initially unhappy with, ends up looking kind of artsy.
• Black Friday upcoming. Right now, there's people out there in thirty degree weather standing or sitting in lines for hours. I just can not bring myself to even consider that. Even if it was for that one rare vinyl record that I've been waiting all my life for. In past years, I might have taken a late night drive just to look around but I can't even drag myself to the car anymore. These days I value being home more than ever.
• No idea why, but I'm reminded tonight of the title of the R.E.M. song, What's The Frequency Kenneth."   
• Extremely grateful just to be alive and though I'm currently aching all over from work (a condition that I've aggravated just by sitting in a chair today), for being relatively healthy.
• At halftime of the traditional Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving game, they had some country music, flavor of the month, on the field giving a performance. Hell I don't know, for all I know it might have been a country superstar. I had to change the channel. Thankfully there was some real music on elsewhere .... A Tom Petty documentary film!!
