Thanksgiving 2006
Yesterday I played football for the first time in years. Today my body is reminding me why I haven't played football in years. Honestly, its not that bad. I have the previous couple of months worth of basketball to thank for my current conditioning. It proved to be enough as we, the "white" team, beat our gridiron foes, the "blue" team.
Am I complaining about a couple of bruises and sore legs from a flag football game with a bunch of my 30-something pals? Um, no. Not in this house. Jerri ran in a 5K yesterday morning in downtown San Jose. Then she came home and made Thanksgiving dinner, at the same time helping me cheer the Cowboys to a win over Tampa Bay. AND I got a homemade buttermilk pie.
No complaints here, my man.
We miss our families, and this was the first year (in a long while) we've celebrated without them, or friends, around the table. That said, it still turned out to be a very, very good day.
