Happy Thanksgiving!

We sit here in Fairhope Yacht Club and it got down to 20 last night but the wind has died down and we stay warm inside. They are doing Thanksgiving dinner at the Yacht Club today. My brother Tom and his wife Nancy are coming up from Gulf Shores where they have been spending the week with friends. We will not totally go without turkey and dressing and family on this our first holiday away from Nashville in many years. I am a little homesick when I see on Facebook the pictures of my grandchildren having fun (or not) in the snow back home. Nick called last night and he and some friends are getting together after all of them get off work—when did people work on Thanksgiving?? Tom and Nancy are going to take us to Pensacola airport this afternoon to rent a car so we can make our flight home on Saturday. Logistics of car management can be an issue. A lot of marinas have courtesy cars to go out and see some of the city but I look forward to working out the public transportation when we travel for real in February. Notes: local radio 96.1 they say classic rock but it is more hard rock. They are screaming about the record breaking cold temps last night. This morning though they have syndicated John Boy and Billy which I guess is better than listening to Fitz make fun of the parades that to him are marching ads for the latest TV show, movie and Broadway play. We have not had TV in here because of the wave action so football today might not happen – another tradition missed.
