Hey Sassie,
I’ve just about recovered from our last meeting.  
Stayed up late tonight to watch the game.  
I’m having a delightful colonoscopy on Wednesday so I will be distracted both tomorrow and Wednesday and I wanted to make sure I sent you a happy Thanksgiving message.  Ours will be low key with family and friends coming to our place.  Hope you have a great one!
regards,
brett

Re: Happy Thanksgiving
Hiya Brett!  
I heard the game ran late and it was totally worth it!  10-0!  Whee!  
A sore throat and sniffles caught up me last Thursday, so I spent 4 days stuck at home.  Lots of time to remember your visit.  Just made it back to the office today!  
Recovered?  Ha.  I’ve been watching videos and plotting how to make being a cowgirl easier.  And other positions.  🙂 
Ah… a colonoscopy!  Whee!  So happy to hear you’re taking the steps to be sure you’re healthy.  I always occupy my mind with what I can eat when I get done.  Too bad I can’t have fun with your oh so clean butt!  
I’ll be at my sister’s place as usual on Thursday with the entire family and her in-laws and a couple of local “orphans.”  I am so lucky not to have travel or cook!  I will certainly give thanks for the sexy man who has come into my life this year!  Hope you have a peaceful day at home!  
-Sassy

Eating so many good things…
 listening to your stories, 
introducing you to the secret dessert from the kitchen, 
that amazing old waiter… 
and a long kiss stolen in the rainy parking lot!

Sitting here watching helicopters and planes fly by on a clear but cold night. Rapidly feeling like home

8:46pm  

My sister said there is a whole different feeling when you design it…

8:48pm Phil 
Oh yeah. It’s all us down to the smallest detail

Subway fingering

November 18, 2015 Wednesday
9:32am
Good morning!

9:41am Phil 

Spending today doing final packing so we can have as much done tomorrow as possible – furniture, washer/ dryer/ cable all show up on Friday. Hope to finish on Saturday and then clean up Sunday and relax on Monday. 
Best part will be getting the paperwork and then changing out locks to make it ours. It all worked out.
 Never found several thousand dollars-worth of jewelry that has been missing. Think the last movers grabbed it. 8 fully loaded Pandora bracelets. $800-1000 a piece just gone. My wife doesn’t take care of her stuff and she left them out. Someone’s wife or girlfriend got a great gift. I’m dropping off thousands of dollars of never used craft supplies to Goodwill. Probably 20k worth. I could puke.  What’s done is done.
I don’t know know anyone in real estate in our hometown. I’m sorry.
9:57am
Thanks for the update.  No worries re: our hometown – A high school friend told Sis who to call.  Hope that works.   Best of luck with packing today.  Glad to hear your wife is getting rid of some stuff!         
9:57am  
I wanna ride the subway with you.  

10:34am Phil
Nice😛

Good morning kid!   Off to work.  

I get to go to Mindfulness class today. And the endocrinologist.  Whee!  

Hope you have a super Tuesday!

8:32am Phil 

Oh yippy!  Sounds like fun! Try to enjoy the day anyway  : )

2:33pm
Tried the new quiche Lorraine at Au bon pain.  Won’t do that again.  Blah.

7:44pm
Tuesday at Tupelo, an oasis of Southern food in Imnan Square Cambridge

Funky interior with a bust of Elvis and open kitchen
Moist corn bread and butter
My “small bowl” of gumbo with garlic toast
Fried gator with cheesy grits and gravy, topped with pickled beets
Hubby’s jumbo gumbo with toast
My fried chicken on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes, collards and pickled beets
Brown butter pecan pie
9:48pm  
Have you seen this monster?  Somehow, it looks like something you’d cook up!

For your HP Lovecraft-themed Thanksgiving:
The Cthurkey, octopus-stuffed turkey with crab legs

Like William Burroughs’ “Thanksgiving Prayer,” this “Cthurkey” rears its head every holiday season. It’s almost criminal that we’ve never blogged about it here on Dangerous Minds, so I thought I’d correct that egregious oversight.

10:44pm
I sang this Emma Lazarus poem set to an Irving Berlin tune with a community chorus for the Bicentennial in 1976.  We need to listen again… it’s the one inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty, given to the United States by… France.

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Hiya.  Do you know who a real estate lawyer or agent in our hometown would be?  My brother-in-law has a great aunt who lives down the river a bit. Her caretakers are talking about selling her home and moving her to a nursing home, and he’s considering buying the house, so we’re looking for contacts over that way who might know who to call. Thanks for any clues.
