thanksgiving weekend
Thanksgiving is pretty much the only holiday that Americans haven't ruined with excess and commercialism. It remains essentially unchanged.

Bliss. But it can still be tweaked.
Inquiring Spokane friends told I'm spending Thanksgiving in Seattle? Check.

Family not heard from? Check.
The two best Thanksgiving Day games of my lifetime? Check.
Damn. I should have kenneled the dogs. They'll ruin it.
