I’m home with pneumonia while the family is off to my uncle’s house up in scenic Stroudsburg, Pa. Don’t weep for me, I’m the one home watching TV, eating Whole Foods stuffing (probably said “artisan” right on the buffet when Aly picked it up for me), and cleaning the fish tank (poor little guys needed it).

Aly’s the one who had to drive two hours (more, with bad directions and bad traffic) to spend the holiday with my family (whom I love, but really, its all Lstr, all the time up there).

I miss them all.

I believe that’s us, as turkeys.
