Well, we're back home after a nearly 10 hour car trip from Maryland. Holiday traffic, compounded by a bad accident that shut down the New Jersey Turnpike for 3 hours.
Other than that, we had a great Thanksgiving. The kids loved playing with their baby cousin, and with the new Sugar Gliders that arrived in the pockets of their Ohio cousins. I manged to go on a nice 4 or 5 mile run with Mary and Lee (my running partners for the DC road race in July) between our big brunch and our bigger dinner on Thursday. On Friday, we all went downtown to see the World War II Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and Korean War Veterens Memorial. Very cool stuff.
Thanks to all who helped make Thanksgiving so nice. (And that includes those of you who commented about or on my last blog entry.)
I see Dr. R on Tuesday for a two month checkup. I don't anticipate any major changes. I'll post something about the visit late Tuesday or some time Wednesday.

Good luck tomorrow with your Dr visit.
Good luck with this too:
Rice hopes final try equals immortality
Will Sox slugger be worthy of Hall in last regular attempt?
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
From wikpedia:
The most lasting controversy in Hall of Fame elections has been the actions and composition of the Veterans Committee established in 1953.[10] While few of the BBWAA selections have been particularly controversial, prior to its 2001 restructuring the Veterans Committee had, at times, seemed to pass over the most worthy candidates in order to enshrine contemporaries and teammates of the committee members
and also from Wikipedia:
In the first election to be held under the 2007 revisions, two managers and three executives were elected in December 2007 as part of the 2008 election process. The next Veterans Committee elections will be held in 2009, with both the main committee and the panel for pre-World War II players voting. The main committee will vote in odd-numbered years, while the pre-WWII panel will vote every five years.
Things don't look good for Jimmy Rice.
I hope I'm wrong. Not because I think he deserves to be elected (becasue I don't think that any one dimensional, injury prone hitter deserves HOF honors). No, I'm just preparing myself for the onslaught of Rice lovers like yourself who idolized this chowder headm and now there will be a constant flow of blogs, articles and books about the injustice of it all.
Get the popcorn out kids - this is going to be fun to watch.
