Fun at the White House (Boerne Branch) is over and done. We’re packing so we can move along to the Ranch, where the whole Christenson Clan is expected to show this year for the Big Feast.

One Week to Go; You Ready for the Invasion of the Turkeys?

No, I’m not talking about your in-laws, although you may be spending some time with them soon. (I certainly will. And that’s a Good Thing.)

Can You Get Swine Flu From Being a Pig at the Thanksgiving Table?

I felt bad all day. I’m sure it couldn’t be due to overeating on Thanksgiving like a hungry pig at a trough of fresh acorns. Some of my nephews have had the swine H1N1 influenza, but that was weeks ago; they can’t still be infectious, can they? Not that I’m paranoid or anything, you [...]

Then you ate again, just to be sociable; you ate so much that your I.Q. dropped to somewhere below your shoe size, [...]

Today is one of our Great Holidays in America. Friends and family gather and share traditions and memories. For some, it’s all about socializing and catching up: Where you’ve been, how’s the job, and more. For others it’s about the football and the food, or the board and card games after the feast.
