Twas The Day After Thanksgiving

psst- the Apple Store is having a One-Day Sale (even online)

Marta N00bs Are So Precious
I love riding Marta with people who never have. They usually look like a deer in headlights when the try to figure out if the train arriving at Five Points is the one that they want. For some reason no one believed me when I tried to convince them that the North Springs train was a Men's train and that the Doraville one was the train for Ladies (Of course I would get on that train and act as a Marta Ambassador).

Why Did My Feet Fail Me Now?
Say what you will about my (lack of) training, but I almost had a fantastic run yesterday. Buoyed by the crazy amount of good looking runners (read "girls") I was tromping along at a great clip (for me)... until mile eleven. At the eleven-mile mark the arches of my feet were screaming bloody murder, forcing me to have to walk for a little while.

In the end I finished, not as quickly as I desired, but far from last as well. The beer I had packed for the end made the journey worth it...

And Then The Feasting Began
After crashing hard from the run and the beer consumed thereafter, I awoke to shower and go out to have a great Thanksgiving dinner. For the last five years my friends Stacey and Andy have invited me to their house for Thanksgiving dinner. These kids know how to serve up a Thanksgiving feast!

Oh, and remember those Thanksgiving Jones Sodas I blogged about here? Stacey and Andy also purchased a pack and we sampled them as apertifs. I thought that they were all rather disgusting...

Normally dinner is followed by my annual PS2 Madden ass-whooping (my ass gets whooped). Luckily for me this year dinner was followed by a dog walk and watching of Pirates of the Caribbean (mmmm Keira Knightly).

For as many years as I have been hashing there has also been a huge "Thanksgiving orphans" gathering which occurs out in Tucker. Each year I hope to rally late and make it over for a nightcap and dessert, but last night as in the past I was too tired to make an appearance.

And now for some ideas stolen from LiveJournal...
Current Mood - my feet hurt
Current Music - none, watching tv
