Hope you all had a great Turkey Day and not too many antacids (or Tylenol/Advil) were needed. For those of you checking in today, here are some Thanksgiving leftovers for your consideration:
1) Traffic: Where the hell was it? I was on the Merritt and I-95 and nothin'. Not that I'm complaining...but it seems that in relation to holiday traffic... perhaps we can all just stagger our travel times and solve this age old traffic dilemma of holiday travel.
2) Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade: Thankfully, I only caught bits and pieces, as commentated by hateful NBC trifecta of Lauer, Roker and Viera. Most disturbing was how they could roll out an octogenarian Andy Williams (who surely had no idea where he was) to sing 'The Most Wonderful Time of the Year'-- which was surely recorded at least 50 years ago. Aside from that... the Santa was a close 2nd in the disturbing category. I am sure he was drunk.
3) Lions/Titans: Yawn. I'm sure there wasn't a bookie on the planet that made any money off this one.
4) Lack of holiday commercials: Usually on Thanksgiving, we're avalanched with holiday commercials. Aside from the 'Black Friday' store sales... not much going on.
5) Speaking of Black Friday: Don't these retail geniuses realize there's a recession? The only people hitting the stores at midnight or 4AM Friday openings are mental midgets who can't figure out the after Xmas sales will be like dollar store bargains. Boys, I hope you're all waiting until the new year to get a 50+" Plasma for a pocket full of change.... I am.
6) Cowboys/Seahawks game: Yawn. But I did get to see who these Jonas Brothers were all about at the halftime show. As I suspected..no talent. I prayed one of them would back into the big shooting flames behind them but no dice. But, Ware and Barber came up injured.. as Yankee Joe would say 'boo hoo.'
7) Football sports casters: James Brown's suit (as usual) offended, but Shannon Sharpe's attire did not completely blind me as it usually does. Very odd. And by the way.. has anyone seen Tiki Barber? I think he's with NBC.. is he in some sort of correspondent position or have the geezers from 'Cocoon' snatched him?
8) Stuffing with Nuts and/or Berries: Somehow ended up on my plate. Ok.. ok.. because my sister in law made it and she is a good cook, I tried her stuffing with cranberries. It was actually good... but I preferred my mom's with a 2:1 ratio of butter/bacon. My arteries were thankful last night too.
9) Room for Dessert: The choruses heard 'round the world last night: "Ugh.. I'm stuffed!" "I need a nap." "Oh.. it's the triptiphane in the turkey." "I need to make room." "You don't want to go into the bathroom right now... I just made some room for dessert." If I only had a nickel. I'm just glad everyone always has room for dessert. I made four frickin' pies over 5 hours... if no one ate 'em.. there woulda been a massacre.
10) Bring on the gifts: Sports wise.. we all have a lot on our lists I guess. Seems like Scott 'Santa' Boras will (as usual) wait it out to drive up the market price of his key players. Where will players like Sabathia, Ollie and others land? Remains to be seen. For all NY teams... hope we get what we want and need in our Christmas stockings. Some good, consistent and clutch pitching.. not just marquee names.
Eat it up people... only 27 days left 'til Christmas. |

| There's always room for this Cookie in my post Thanksgiving food coma. I too hit no traffic at all coming back in through the Lincoln Tunnel - which was very unexpected. As for Santa Boras, I hope all major league teams take a pass on his ridiculous asking prices and he has to move overpriced inventory during a spring training fire sale. When will the owners wise up and wait for the post Christmas bargains and send these money hungry agents home with their tails between their legs? Not likely with Young Hankenstein getting daddy's checkbook. |

| I had the worst acid reflux ever after dinner. And I didn't even watch football. Sadly it was all food related. Six gallons of wine didn't help. |

| Horrible day of football and worse because of my in-laws. Brother-in-law is a Cowboys fan and we had to listen to him during the game. He swears they will beat the Titans in the Super Bowl. |

| Cookie, networks should go back to the days of broadcasters all wearing the same sports jacket. Letting these guys dress is ridiculous |
