Jonathan ask you to dinner in his home, but you refuse it . The poor guy was so sad to heard this. However could we blame you for avoiding is cooking ?

I decided to decline when he mentioned "carving the bong."
To be fair, I do hear Shrove Tuesday called Pancake Day quite a lot... but I assumed it was because some people did not know about the religious reasons for having pancakes on that day.

Amorya,
I have never heard of Shrove or Pancake day on this side of the pond.
Though in America the day is celebrated.
I have always heard it referred to as Mardi Gras which means "Fat Tuesday".
Thanks for sharing.
Oh... I'm working today. Since the Roach-Coach didn't come by, I guess it will be Vending machine food for me today. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />
Good dinner out tonight. shrimp, wine, turkey and all that, coffee, pie al mode... bill. $15 dollar tip. You have to tip well on thanksgiving.
We were thinking of going to a movie but I have to cover the pager in the morning and I know those people wont be able to get the machines started in the morning. Belle knows what I'm talking about.
<strong>Why? That could've been fun!</strong><hr></blockquote>
No doubt. However, if I was going to have a Thanksgiving, I'd have wanted a traditional one with turkey and cranberry sauce.

Bah, that's no good. The worst thing about holidays is not having the following day off, too. I was supposed to spend Thanksgiving with a friend and her family in Burlington, but I had to attend clinic on Wednesday, and again this morning. It would have been fun, but it would have meant a lot of driving and no alcohol.

That is a long ass drive from NY to the top of VT. I bet it would ****ing snow on you too.
Of course I was paged at 6:30 and went in to find out that the machine wouldn't start because ... the door wasn't closed on the HV cabinet. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

I've been to Burlington. Nice little town. My high school alma mater used to use that town as a home base for some of the ski resorts up there.

It usually takes about 5 or 6 hours. It would have been worthwhile if I'd been able to stick to the original plan, which was to drive up Wednesday evening and come home Sunday night. Unfortunately, my endless desire for blood got in the way. I actually enjoy driving. All I need is my iPod, a couple of bananas, and I'm good to go. Stop somewhere nice for a break and something to eat. Once you reach I-91 you can switch yourself into autopilot mode because about 250 miles of the trip is covered by the I-91 and I-89.

It happens every time you have to provide cover. I got a call this morning because someone couldn't find a file. I wouldn't have been called if I'd been in Burlington, but because everyone knew I was still in town, I got the call.

We're having Cinnamon Muffins as well as Apple cider Mulling Spice thingies. We'll be feasting just like the pilgrims!

Good but expansive, wine Eugene. How about a 1992 ?
