Notes - a good Thanksgiving / existential moments

          You remember today's somber date as do many others. Today, it is Thanksgiving in the United States. You had a good dinner and supper at Mary Lou's. Uncle John, Dwight, Sharon and Cory with Mia and Mason, Cory's mother and father, Mary Lou's friend, Mack, Kim and Paul with Owen and Brennan, and Carol and you. After dinner you slept on the dining room floor for two hours and thus missed picking up your computer at Patti's. Ham sandwiches and assorted leftovers from the traditional Thanksgiving foods (wine, turkey, gravy, rolls corn, green bean casserole, Jell-O/fruit salad, Hawaiian bread with chopped spinach dip in the middle of the round loaf , potatoes, sweet potatoes, assorted cookies to choose from and Carol's three pies two of which appeared to demanded whip cream on top. Lots of varied conversations that you heard and participated in, the Macy's N.Y. parade on television in the AM and football games thereafter, plus lots of toys and blocks, etc. on the living room and TV room floors for two twenty-two month olds and for two nine month olds.

         2222 hours. I am ready for bed, Amorella. We had a good time. The food and drinks were delicious. No traffic problems to and from. We picked up Uncle John in Dublin and took him home on the way back. Everyone appeared to be in good health. I think besides the kids I am the only one who took a nap though I know three others would have had they the chance. I am thankful I lived for another Thanksgiving and need to remember that Sunday Carol and I will have been married 45 years. I am thankful for the marriage also. As I often say, I have had a very good, very fortunate life. No complaints. 

         No complaints perhaps, boy, but more important, no regrets in that you cannot imagine ever changing what you have done in your life. Post. Tomorrow we finish up chapters four, five and six. - Amorella

         I sit here in these moments and cannot think or perhaps I do not have the present recollection of any conscious decision of merit that I would change. I am sure there are a few regrets, errors really. You are making me stuck here, Amorella. . . . The existential moments in my life I would not change. 

         I concur, the existential moments you would not change. - Amorella
