My Thanksgiving

First of all, I stopped by the exes house in late morning and visited with my daughter. Then I went to Caribou Coffee and surfed the Internet. About midafternoon I wandered for a bit because I had no invitation to dinner. This was due in large part to pernicious family dysfunction.

Then I got hungry and started stalking about for something to eat. I ended up at a convenience store and wound up and down the aisles for about a half an hour. Finally, I made my choices. My actual holiday meal was sardines, Pringles, a Moon Pie and a Coca Cola eaten in my truck. I was truly thankful for what I had, and the humorous aspects of the feast.

Then I went to The Irish Rose and was invited to share in their holiday buffet. Later, I went to my best friend's house for Polish sausage and leftovers. It was lonely at points, but got better and better. I think I will be able to turn the experience into a funny short story
