After Tony got old, the only dog I walked was Poly who didn’t walk with me… she ran many many miles with me. As my wife liked to joke, she was my Eastern European Running Coach.
It was nice to just walk a dog again.
Nice deserted road leads to a selfie
Did I hear something
I definitely saw something
Oh God it is over there and it is coming fast
This is why rain is so important
Here’s what the day looked like
And here is the route
I took Nicholas to the Hiller Museum of Aviation and surprised him with stories of Santa Claus. Here he waits for the helicopter to land:
The helicopter lands and he is super excited … Not about Santa but about the wind from the rotors …
And here comes Santa and like Breznhev at the May 1st parade Nicholas waves …
pa
And I ask: do you want to see Santa or planes?
And he’s like: Planes dude … Because I can fly a plane …
Or fly myself
Or use this really cool screen – dad failed to explain it but it’s cooler than Santa
The only thing better than a great thanksgiving meal is leftovers…
After a wonderful meal – a bike ride was in order. A bike ride I hadn’t gone in years …
Began with the turkey trot with Sirma:
That ended with us smiling with our medals:
Followed up with some football in the back yard
And on television:
And concluded with a great meal headlined with turkey
many side dishes
And great friends
A kids table
And concluded with dessert
And finished with a 1999 bottle of Canava Roussos Vinsanto
A wonderful day of fun and joy with much to be thankful for ….
Awesome stuffing being prepped with no burned fingers:
