Happy Spanksgiving everyone! As i sit here in my Madrid flat, i hope you have a healthy and a happy one. Manana, Spanksgiving, will be the 1,789th day of my self imposed Spanish Exile. I remember all the reasons why i left. The reasons why i haven't returned escape me now.
And all the time that's passed me by.....
it hardly seems to matter now...
not now
-Genesis
Things i am thankful for:
- Mum
- The Seester
- Sue, Annie and Frippy
- Kevin and Pat (my brothers) and their families
- Maria
- All my family and friends on both sides of the Atlantic
- Teaching English
- My flat and cool flatmates
- Music
- Books
- Writing
- Seeing the Fambly in January!
- My comfy chair
- The fact that i found out the Dodgey Brooklyner was insane in a relatively short amount of time
- That the NFL season is almost over for the Seahawks
- That tomorrow is always a new day
- That when i do a ludicrous search for images with keywords like Spanksgiving that i find there are people just as delightfully warped as i am. Que Bien!
I work til 21:30 manana. Then Maria will meet me at my flat for a Spanksgiving Day dinner of pollo asado (roast chicken) and ensalada (salad.) And then i teach like 17 hours on Friday.
So, that's very nice 'actual' Thanksgiving day plan. Then to Laura's i think on Sat.
Maybe next year in the USA?
Next year in Jerusalem!

We're having something a little different this year for Thanksgiving. Instead of a turkey, we're having a swan. You get more stuffing.

I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.
Johnny Carson
Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year. And then discover once a year is way too often.
