Chris and I are headed to Jersey for a bit tomorrow. It’ll be a whirlwind of a trip with a ton of folks to see, but it should be fun. We’ll be wined and dined like celebrities. Absolutely ridiculous, but I will be happy to be the recipient of everyone’s hospitality. Chris has never experienced Thanksgiving and is looking forward to it. My mom has a full crew of family, friends and assorted hangers on coming over so should make for interesting mix.

Having our footy stammtisch tonight at new Twisted Bavarian place around the corner. Got a good group going – all the footy regs – me, Chris, Bev, Gary, Planty, Cal, Lise and Richard as well as a few special guests – Jen, Paul, Simon, Vicki and Martina. Ought to be fun. A few beers before we fly. Got to remember to be judicious when drinking – do not want to be hungover on the flight to Philly.
