Thanksgiving day plus two.

Another successful food fest was held at the home of Brother Bob& sister-in-law Diane. Usually held on Thanksgiving, the event was moved to the following Saturday as a result of regularly losing attendees as a result of excessive traffic on Thanksgiving Day itself. This year as a result of the acceptable traffic level only one attendee arrived late but still in time for some food. Bob had cooked a free range grown, fresh turkey and did a pretty good job of it. The attendees stretched in age from 7 months to 7 decades. And two double knee replacements. Daughter Deb and son-in-law Rick picked me up on their way down from Studio City. Deb is the family historian-in-waiting , waiting for brother Bob. So Deb got the Full Monty of her ancestors. I learned a lot just listening. Bob showed Deb is collection of antique photos of her family.
On the way home from a distant satellite came the dulcet tones Bruce Springsteen on the radio. I knew of his background in folk/rock music but this was great. I learned something from this.
I was recently asked to clarify the Hall of Fame to which Dianne has recently been nominated.
It is the Senior Softball Hall of Fame. Both males and females are members. But Bob assures me that a personal count showed only 8 female members. None from sunny California. Sounds pretty exclusive to me. Congratulations again to Dianne.
Halls of Fame are clear indicators that we're all on this flight together.
