Current mood:  amused Category: Life
So, Stacey and I were planning on going to my sister's house for Thanksgiving, like we always do. It's usually sorta weird and awkward, like a lot of family gatherings are, I suppose, but we do get to visit our niece and nephew, so that's fun. Plus there's pie. But early yesterday afternoon, my mom called me to tell me:
"Thanksgiving is canceled."
I didn't know she could do that. Apparently, one of my Canadian uncles died, so she was jumping on a Greyhound bus to go to the funeral in Toronto. So, dinner was off.
At first I was perplexed by this. Why does it have to be canceled? Just because my uncle just died, my sister still has to feed her kids today. She's not going to Canada, my mother is.
But whatever. For the first time in 39 years, I do not have to endure a family gathering for Thanksgiving. Amazing. Stacey's still making dinner - I will take gravy and pie whenever I can get it - but this time, we get to eat it in our own home, wearing pajamas and goofing off. Fantastic. I could get used to this.
In summation: I am thankful my mom canceled Thanksgiving. Also, RIP Uncle Mickey.
Hope your holiday is also swell.
Ken
PS: We just came back from seeing Milk. Tremendous stuff. Might be the best movie of the year.
