thanksgiving under wraps

staten island t-giving was a blast, of course. there were two babies for the first time and that really changed the ambience-less dancing, drinking-no smoking- and more adoration of the pass around kids. also, it ends earlier when short people are around. however, the inevitable turkey with requisite accompaniments was exceptionally well done- john shawn meynard and erene  cooked cleaned and hosted. we toasted "grace on ice" as the friend who is the farthest away this year. much laughter and gossip as well.
