Widows and Orphans

Some friends have an annual Widows and Orphans Thanksgiving day dinner.  This event is for those of us that are ex-pats of sorts, and don't have family nearby to spend with on the holiday. We all get together and cook a nice dinner, drink plenty of wine, and eat too much.  They say that turkey-as-a-sleep-inducer is a myth, but I dropped off to dreamland anyway.

The food turned out great, Tim and Sandee made the trip from Chicago, and everyone had a pleasant time.

I got up early the next morning for some post-turkey ice hockey to skate off the excess calories consumed the night before.  Not a bad start to the 4 day weekend.
