Todd Tarson posted his Thanksgiving regimen, and I can identify with it even though our days will be very different. There is nothing I would rather do than work, so I just shoehorn it in where I can.

Cathy watches the parades, so she won’t mind me sitting at my desk for those few hours. We’ll take separate cars to her parents’ house so that Cameron and I can make our escape before our fidgeting becomes too pronounced. In truth, I like her family just fine, but there is a finite amount of time I can spend doing nothing.

Ayn Rand said, “Thanksgiving was a holiday established by productive people to celebrate the success of their work.” This I completely endorse. I need to research a hardware issue, and the nets should wail today as everyone takes the day off.

Be who you are. Do what you want. Have what you love. Happy Thanksgiving!
