Further Thanksgiving adventures:

• Went to family gathering only a bit late, so did not quite miss the traditional garlic-and-stinky-cheese appetizer


• Got stared at for several minutes straight by child of Beautiful Cousin #2 -- why?


• Knitted stuff and watched the dog show on TV


• Ate really good turkey and salad with normally-good potatoes and gravy


• Experienced the weirdness that is the chocolate fondue fountain, and ate of its bounty (pineapple, strawberries, pound cake, peanut-butter and regular rice-krispy treats)


• Played Cranium and discovered the clay was growing very rectangular clear crystals (!)


• Played Cricket Cricket I'm on Fire with six and then seven people -- minimal but still fun


• Ate pumpkin pie made by the King of Pie, hattifattener


• Overall we all had pretty good family interactions, which is not always easy

A fine holiday.
