Thanksgiving Day

Well, I missed a few days because I was in Chicago with the D&B. We played Northern Illinois University, and beat them pretty solidly. It was quite chilly, so I viewed the game as an opportunity to prepare and test warmth methods for the Army game next weekend. I'm sure the afternoon game in Philadelphia will somehow be colder than the night game on the windy plains of Illinois. I'll admit that I don't like the cold and I will try whatever I can to stay warm that day.

Chicago was a pretty good time, even if we only were there and not sleeping for a few hours. We got there late Monday night and a few of us went out to try to find something to eat. Unfortunately, not a whole lot of places were open at that hour, so we had to wait until Tuesday morning to go to get some deep dish Chicago style pizza. It was very good, very cheesy, and very filling. Then we went to the game and got back late and left early the next morning for our homes.

Now I'm home, and I've gone shopping for shoes (unsuccessfully because the store was closed), gone running this morning (in shoes that didn't quite fit, so I think I'm getting a blister on my arch), then picked stuff up from the store and went to see the march of the A&M Corps of Cadets. My mom's side of the family came up, and we ate Thanksgiving lunch, and now I'm watching the Seahawks at the Cowboys game.

I'm starting to get tired because I stayed up until 0230, talking with my mom about stuff. She's really good to talk to, and it's funny that she knows me better than myself. Part of that, I think, is that she gets to observe different things than I do. I'm glad that I have her around on my side.

Happy Thanksgiving.
