Holidays

And you know you wanna do something nice for your S.O. on Valentine's this year, but you don't want to look like you're cheaping out. So that means just putting in thought or effort, right? Right. So what would I recommend?

For example, did you know he based a lot of his protest style on Ghandi? He also was followed and wire tapped because he had a friend who J. Edgar Hoover thought was a communist.

I mean, every party I've been to had a veggie plate. Nobody ate much from it, but it was there.

Having said that, I'm still not going to put it on the list next to the best Christmas movies of all time. I still think it's more of an action movie set at Christmas time.

I jazzed it up just a little bit. Now don't get it twisted, I'm not going to do something stupid like... add craisins or something.

There will be several restaurants that will be open on Thanksgiving if you do not want to cook

What do you like to do to try to reign in the gluttony? Or, are you not even going to try and just go full ham? What's going to be on your Thanksgiving table this year?

I did try to get fancy one year and make a Champagne Ham with special home made mashed potatoes. Nobody really noticed.

But do people still do that?

All trash pick-ups for the week of Dec. 21 and 28 will occur one day early.
