Chris will be boarding his plane in about 5 hours at JFK. I can't wait to hear all about his trip. A friend of his taped the parade for me and I'm going to let Chris watch it when he ges home.

I decided not to do any shopping today only because I hate crouds. I spent the day watching 'Luke and Laura Through the Years' on the soap channel ... all 10 hours worth. I'll probably start some shopping tomorrow before I pick Chris up.

Hope all of you have an enjoyable weekend ... I know I will ... I got the next three days off!

until next time,

The first Thanksgiving feast was made up of lobster, crab, corn, and some other side dishes that was available at the time … turkey was not the main course. I did not know this … lobster? Hey! Count me in. Well, the pies are done and it’s 9:30pm. I really need to get some sleep to wake up early enough for work. Sianna won’t be with me for dinner after all … she’s going to grandpa’s mother’s house for dinner. She’ll have a better time there. It looks like I’ll be heading out to my brother’s for dinner … if I can shake off this cold.

Thank you WryGuy for your heartfelt wishes for my son … and belated congratulations to you and your wife on your wedding. I saw some of the pictures and they were beautiful.

Sianna wants me to download a game for her so I’ll going.

Aloha and Happy Thanksgiving,

Hapa
Mom … did I wake you?

That was the first thing Chris said to me at 5am this morning. I wanted to choke him, but he’s 5000 miles away. He called while they were en route to see a play at Radio City Music Hall. He’s having a lot of fun, I’m happy for him. He’s calling back later in the day because about 10 minutes into the conversation they were starting to tour Ground Zero and he wanted to take pictures.

This year, it will be just me Sianna and John for Thanksgiving. Actually, John and I will be passing each other because I decided that I’m going in to work the breakfast and lunch shift … at least we will be closing at 2pm. I’ll get home just in time to see John for about 5 minutes before he goes to his government job at Hickam. I’m blessed to have many friends. I have yet to decide which of these friends whose homes I will go to for dinner with Sianna.

I got a whole lot of baking to do now so I’ll part company here. Hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Aloha,

Hapa

Technically, it's still the 18th in Hawaii, so ... Happy Birthday Ghost ... ya old fart.

Chris is safely in Virginia. He called me from San Francisco at midnight to let me know he was ok. The flight to Virginia from San Fran was going to be another 8 hours. He called later in the day but I was at work. He heads out for New York Tuesday morning.

It's late, we just got home from watching Monsters Inc. I love that movie! I can't wait for the video to come out.

Have a great week everyone ...
