But It Was Not This Year
I held my ground. I was prepared to hold out until the day before Thanksgiving for a dinner invitation. You could see the fear in my eyes at the thought of hosting a Thanksgiving dinner. The year may come that I will have to cook the feast but it was not this year. This year my dear sister-in-law came through again. I dined on turkey, mashed potato's and gravy, stuffing, sweet potato's, green jello, lima beans and pumpkin pie with cool whip. The year may come that all invitations come crashing down around me but it was not this year. This was the year all eight of us sat around card tables and ate like Kings. By all that I hold dear on this good earth, I thank you dear sister-in-law.
I should send her some flowers.
Oh and yes, I'm quite the geek. Lord of the Rings was on all weekend.

It may have been on, but I went one better; I watched all three movies in the three-plus hour each 'extended edition' one right after the other, over the course of two days.
"I'm so sorry, my boy, that I gave you this burden..." Still makes me cry. I'm misting up just thinking about it.
Thank you for sharing a place in geekdom with me. :-)
