It was a mostly Happy T after all. I guess most importantly, I did not have the 'meltdown' I was fearing, instead I mostly stayed quiet. First TDay without Mom, after all. I supplied the 17 pound turkey, Jeff provided a nice fruit salad, his parents did the rest.

Highlights: Food, football, food, two naps on the sofa, football and food.

Lowlights: Kodi tossing his doggie biscuits then peeing on me less than a couple miles from our destination, the nephews overstaying their welcome (this is an ongoing problem, Jeff's sister unloads them onto us and/or his parents way more than is fair, so any chance at having a restful day today to unwind was shattered), Kodi borking up his kibble less than a couple miles from Jeff's place on the trip back, and of course the pall of sad thoughts I had for obvious reasons.

Unexpected surprise of the last three days: Kodi settling down and napping on the passenger's seat nearly the entire 2+ hour trip from Jeff's to my house. This is a first for him, since he usually insists on cramming himself onto the driver's (whether me or Jeff) lap or squirming about the car. Jeff was following in his truck.

Cool-assed bonus: We are gonna be seeing TSO once again, this time in DC, and this time four rows back from the stage, versus the nosebleed seats last Sunday. We can't wait.

Congrats on moving forward with the holiday. Big step for ya buddy. It's calming to know that you have Jeff by your side as well as little Kodi (even if he still get's a little motion sick in the car, that'll pass).

4 rows for TSO, 4 closer than us (bitch... did I say that out loud, lol).

I'm glad your getting to go again. I've been looking at tickets in Albuq/Las vegas/SD. It's awfully tempting.

I'll post on our TSO show by monday.

hugs

Glad you had a happy Thanksgiving!
And thank you for friending me back :-)

I just realized that you and a few others have friended me (I lost some too, but that's okay), so I felt it only fair. :)

I'm gonna sneak my little camera in again. I figure it will be tougher to do so at this venue, but I will still try.
