River: Thanksgiving Eve

[mdlbear]

N and the three teenagers arrived late afternoon; G followed after work -- I met him when the 5:40 ferry arrived. (That's the ferry that leaves at 5:40; I occasionally get confused and get to the dock by then. Would have done that tonight except that N gave me a sanity check. Useful, because my sanity account is somewhat overdrawn.)

It's good to have everyone here. Even without my kids -- the YD will be having her own Thanksgiving feast tomorrow -- it's a good showing. It did get a little loud between multiple conversations and music on the CD player. I occasionally retreated to The Ultimate Rain Sound Generator, with the "speech blocker" setting and my personal calibration applied.

The home-made donuts (made by the two oldest teens) were spectacular, so of course I had too many of them. I'll probably eat too much tomorrow, too.

I initially had trouble figuring out what to write about today; this is a lot like the frequent day-to-day posts I was writing before I started making the "done last week" summary posts. Anyone miss them?

Anyway, it's pretty close to bed-time. The problem with these stream-of-consciousness posts is that you actually have to be conscious while you're making them.

It sounds like something to look forward to, getting a head start on the Thanksgiving parade of delicious foods!

There are still quite a few donuts left, and I intend to make use of some of them for breakfast.
