Thanksgiving Cookies

I gave a homeless guy a few bucks the other day for the first time in many years. Not because he looked particularly destitute or hungry. He just said that he wanted a cookie. For some reason that hit me. Everybody should be entitled a cookie once in a while. Especially around Thanksgiving. Maybe he went and spent the money on a 40 oz of Old English, but that's okay too. Everybody should be entitled to a bottle of malt liquor once in a while. Especially around Thanksgiving. In fact, our own Thanksgiving desert last night, Christine's tiramisu, had a whole bottle of malt liquor in it, so we could hardly complain.

We enjoyed an excellent Thanksgiving dinner last night. We also discovered that the best way to get Ava to eat her dinner is to smother it with cranberry sauce. We're going to buy a case of it at the store today.
