The Thanksgiving Table
Where we gave thanks for the forty-six other people who couldn't make it
Date: Nov. 23, 2006
It was a boisterous, well-stocked table. And the people were boisterous and well-stocked, too!
Michael and Annette
Our Hosts
Date: Nov. 23, 2006
Gaze upon two of our hosts, the lovely and talented Annette and the lovely and nearly talented Michael.
Phil with a Non-Trifling Trifle
Why eat twenty small ones when you can have one HUGE one?
Date: Nov. 23, 2006
Our third and final host, Philip, as seen holding a gargantuan treat. This gargantuan treat, the size of which might make you might think it was excavated from some Costco freezer, was in fact homemade. And was delicious. Almost as good as smashed Suzy Qs with Cool Whip!
A Trifling Birthday
The trifle becomes a birthday cake
Date: Nov. 23, 2006
Presto Chango! The gargantuan trifle becomes a perfectly reasonably-sized birthday cake. All it takes is a few candles and some off-key singing. Oops! Magicians aren't supposed to reveal their secrets.
Snappy Do
What's Thanksgiving without a Molly Signature Do?
Date: Nov. 23, 2006
Since my first Thanksgiving with the wild band of Wexeicheratkins, Molly has made a point of torturing my luxurious locks by making them perform impossible feats of antigravitational gymnastics. And like any gymnastics, it's HURTS LIKE HELL!
But fashion is pain, as I once heard...

Richard Plays Pool
Five spot in the corner pocket
Date: Nov. 23, 2006
This is one of the two pools at the Wexler Florida Retreat. The other is filled with freezing cold water in which Jake enjoyed swimming. The pool pictured is filled with warm felt, in which Richard enjoyed swimming in gambling debt.
Jake Pigs Out
Food and pool. Utopia?
Date: Nov. 23, 2006
This one speaks for itself.
Oh, except this: On the table is a box of See's candy. The "Nuts and Chews" assortment, which has been re-named "Nuts and Jews" in honor of a typical Thanksgiving day with the Reiatkinexlers.
I had to say that because the picture was incapable of speaking such.

Spooky Basement
Sculder and Mully would appreciate this
Date: Nov. 26, 2006
Smash cut to Boca Raton. In the basement/parking garage of Lorraine and Al's condo building is this grisly scene.
Okay, it's not really grisly, but if you just imagine all the fluorescent tubes had been smashed out and in the dim remaining light you could see splattered blood on the wind-blown plastic, you'd call it grisly.

The Redondo Condo View
Fresh sea air and a nice set of clouds
Date: Nov. 25, 2006
Forteen (well, technically, fifteen) floors up from the grisly plastic of the garage was this lovely sight, direct from the patio at L and A's condo.
Jake Skimboarding
Catch a tiny wave
Date: Nov. 25, 2006
We spent Saturday at a private Boca beach club, where the towels were abundant and the lounge singing was top-notch. Out on the beach, Jake taught me how to skimboard. It supposed to go something like this.
Me Not Skimboarding
A good way to bust yourself up
Date: Nov. 25, 2006
I, however, was not able to get the hang of it right away. While I did manage a few good runs, I more managed to scrape my legs, stub my toes, and bruise my buttocks. My left buttock, to be precise. The private beach club was unable to provide a medicinal buttoxical unguent.
Philip, Jake, Michael, and the View
High up in the air, it was photo op time!
Date: Nov. 25, 2006
But back to the condo view and to Philip, Jake, and Michael. Hmm. Didn't really offer much more than what the title already said, did I?
