Maverick
Through the woods, if not over the river
How’s this for going rogue? We are skipping Thanksgiving!
Yes, on the busiest travel day of the year, when others were braving the fearsome pat-downs and the arrivals of in-laws, I just worked, walked on the haul road (above), and tried to stay warm on the coldest November 24 since 1892 (at least in San Francisco). No worries about cooking or blown diets or difficult guests.
It just kind of happened. Our brother is out of town, Lichen is camping in the Everglades, Erica is sick of driving Jessica to Hooterville every day to go to school, Megan is coming off her third night shift, and basically, none of us were feeling it.
So tonight – well, later on today – I’m making Thai chicken coconut soup for Thursday night dinner. Something new!
