At the Fox-Watching in-laws for Thanksgiving

I woke up to Al Franken histrionics. It eeas disgusting, the poor woman was sleeping, for God's sake! Why won't he resign for the good of the nation?

Well, since he won't do the right thing, we'll have to let the ethics committee sort it out. Oh, and Roy Moore is hangin' on, but he done anything in the last week to help himself.

We'll be checking in to a hotel tonight.

We have a nice little beachside cottage booked for the end of the week. We'll be checking in a couple days early. Meanwhile, at least I've got headphones and a live stream of MSNBC on my iPhone.

Spent some time in Maine at a seaside rental this fall.

Wish we never left!

Glad you will find some peace, headphones are good!

Love my noise cancelling ones.

I heard of a great prank, put parental blocking on FAUX news et al.

You must admit, it would be hilarious!

Have a good turkey day!

by the pitcher. Not for you, for them. They get drunk and fight amongst themselves. You stay sober and take video to embarrass them with later.

1/2 fluid ounce vodka
1/2 fluid ounce rum
1/2 fluid ounce gin
1/2 fluid ounce tequila

1/2 fluid ounce triple sec (orange-flavored liqueur)
1 fluid ounce sweet and sour mix
1 fluid ounce cola, or to taste

(it has to be coke, Pepsi is too sweet)

or use this in place of the individual liquors

We banned Black Velvet, as it seemed to cause fights.

Usually caused by white West Side blue collar types.

Knuckleheads in other words.

Might do the trick!
