Subject: RE: BS:What are you doing for Thanksgiving?
Greg, sometimes we (those of us of a certain age) watch the film with Arlo Guthrie. I like the scene with Joni Mitchell in the cemetery in Stockbridge, MA, singing "Songs for Aging Children" -- BTW, Prof. Child is buried in Stockbridge in the Sedgwick Pie.

Tom and I will have an uneventful traditional meal at home...with Jeri as guest. Turkey with sausage/breadcrumb stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy. I'm not sure yet (have to confer with Tom who will be orchestrating everything even if his minions may have to do the actual cooking) what green vegetable (maybe something almondine), etc. we're having. Since Tom doesn't actually EAT any squash, I think I'll be able to bake a couple small acorn squashes, which I prefer. No cranberry sauce. No sweet potatoes or yams. Pumpkin pie with whipped cream for dessert.

We'd sing the Thanksgiving Round (as we did last night at The Press Room session and, perhaps, will today at the sea music singaround), but we don't have enough voices.
