1. Ha!
The day after our boisterous Thanksgiving Day was, uh, restrained.
Or comatose.
We were all pale and nearly motionless, experiencing what Misty called "a social hangover".
We all slept in.
We took it easy.
Misty and Debbie worked on a weaving project.
Patrick and Meagan hung out at their motel room.
I drank lots of espresso and heated milk.
2. Patrick and Meagan bought an onion, a block of cheese, a can of kidney beans, and oyster crackers.
Debbie and I had cans of Cincinnati Chili sauce on hand and now we had everything we needed for a Cincinnati Chili dinner.
Christy joined us and we had a low key and enjoyable time together.
3. Yes, we were all worn out from our exuberant Thanksgiving Day, but it didn't stop us from continuing to have superb conversations as Misty continues to learn more about her newly discovered family and we learn more about Misty's life in Alaska and more about the small villages Misty lived in when she was younger.
One of our conversations veered off to a discussion of Japan. Misty spent time in Osaka when she was in the military and Patrick reported on a video he'd watched about how and why 7-11 stores in Japan serve high quality food.
I made a wise crack about Slurpees and before long Patrick, Meagan, and Misty dashed out the door and rocketed over to the Conoco station on Hill Street and Misty and Patrick came home with Icees, a Slurpee-like concoction, and Meagan bought a grapefruit Bubly seltzer water.
I marveled at how the evening moved from Cincinnati chili to the interior of Alaska to Osaka to Icees at the Conoco convenience store on Hill Street.
