i've been single for a couple of years now, and i feel it more during the holidays. like the coming thanksgiving, for instance. i will not have time to be with family this thanksgiving. besides, they have moved to paradise -- the Philippines -- enjoying life by the beach. i think it's more than 24 hours just for me to fly over there, and they don't have turkey so no... i'm holding off on a pacific-style holiday till Christmas. i hear Christmas is a lot of fun there.
anyway, that leaves me with just me this thanksgiving. a few of my buddies might be free too. we should actually have some club by now -- a no-fighting version of the fight club: you know, for angst-ridden corporation-employed guys. anyway, at least our jobs afford us the creature comforts we sometimes take for granted. and i'm pretty sure our thanksgiving will be a belly-full.
i'm actually just thinking of booking a slot with one of the Knoxville restaurants that will be open next holiday weekend. i hear of three: Shoney's, Calhoun's, and Ruth's Chris Steak House. It's actually more between Shoney's and Ruth's Chris. i've gone to Calhoun's several times already, i'm ODing on Calhoun's lol. So, it's between Shoney's buffet and Ruth's Chris' four-course meal.
and if we're going to stuff ourselves, i'm inclined to do with the buffet.
