Thanksgiving 2007

For Thanksgiving this year, we flew to Dallas to visit my grandmother, aunt, uncle, cousins on my dad's side of the family. Dad flew out too. It was a quick trip from Wednesday to Friday. We flew out of Burbank, which is waaaaay better than LAX. It's small, quick and friendly. Crazy. As part of the visit, we broke out some old home movies and an old projector. The projector still worked, which was a minor miracle, and the movies ran. It was quite a trip in the time machine to see the 6-year old me, my baby bro, my grandfather, my parents and everyone else 25 years in the past. Funny what you can remember so vividly.

This picture is from our lunch stop after we arrived in Dallas. We went to a BBQ place that was, as advertised, delicious. However, I don't quite get the diving connection. By the way, she's diving into a baked potato loaded with beef barbecue, cheese and sour cream. Good thing she's wearing a cap!


My Georgia Bulldogs are #4 in the BCS without a chance to win the SEC championship but virtually guaranteed a BCS Bowl. There's even a chance it could be the Rose Bowl, about 20 minutes from my apartment, or the Fiesta Bowl, a 6 hour ride to Phoenix. The Rose would be tough to make based on our travel schedule for Christmas, but if they get the Fiesta Bowl, we're going!
