Thumbs up The Great Thanksgiving MINI Caravan Spectacular Fun Time

Here's the brilliant scheme. Everyone says where they're going for thanksgiving and when. Then note color and write the roads we'll be on. We can meet up for caravans or just beep when we run into one-another. We'll know where to look out for whom. Bring radios and use channel 7.0 for fun in traffic. Leave the radios on for quick hellos in case you're spotted.

Last minute update

I'll be in Queens, NYC for thanksgiving night. I'll be going there and back to CT all on thursday. Leaving Danbury 2:00pm on 84-684-hutch-whitestone-vanwyck-495.... i dunno what else and returning that evening at around 8:30pm.

and for those who don't have to travel too far to get from the living room to the dining room... we could happily stay away from the kitchen and come out in the morning to do some MINI spotting

Um. You do so. I know you from MMI and NAM. So don't be afraid to impose. Lots of people this side consider a good post a sign of friendship and unity. I don't know what we could do....

We'll be in New Haven all day Thursday. On Friday, there's the world's largest leftovers party at The Farm. Anyone who wants to stop by is welcome.

We will be in Hancock, NH at the Inn @ 5PM. Stop by for a drink if you would like. I think I'd prefer Louisiana if deep fried gobbler is being served or anywhere that offers me good country ham and saurkraut(sp?) with pecan pie for dessert. I suspect the year is coming when I might appear in line in front of ice with a plate in hand - please, sir, I'd like some more.

That's right, I forgor to mention what we are doing in New Haven. We workall day at a restaurant that is opened to the public serving free turkey dinners toanyone who comes in. I always work the kitchen. Last year Scarlett waited tables. This year, Scar will be singing and she has lined up five different accompaniasts in one hour slots to entertain our guests. The bar side of this restaurant is converted to a free store with clothes and unperishable food that have been donated for distribution on Thanksgiving. The funny thing is that a great many of the patrons walk through the piles of clothes and canned goods asking for the liquor that used to be there.

happy and safe traveling to you all!

don't let that L-tryptophan in the bird get to you driving home, lest you want to have venison the next day...or the deer to have you!
