...mostly self-indulgent blather

Thanksgiving 2005

Stats for the 2005 Gooch/Metzger Thanksgiving Dinner and Turkey Bowl:

  • total head count: 39
  • turkeys cooked: 3*
  • lbs. of potatoes mashed: at least 20
  • # of talent show skits: at least 4**
  • final score of the Turkey Bowl: 5 - 5
  • # of Turkey Bowl injuries: 0 (!)
  • # of pies: only 5 (?!)

Other activities for the weekend included ridiculous amounts of pinochle, ping-pong, cross-stitch/crochet, playing with cute babies, scolding of noisy dogs, leftover turkey consumption, and general mayhem. Bonus activities for this year included a geocaching expedition at the Saulter Preserve, deer-spotting on Thanksgiving night, and rainbow-spotting on the ride home. It was, in short, a typical fun-filled holiday with family.

* - Like last year, I did not do very reliable data collection. I'm pretty sure I saw three separate birds, but I don't know the lb-age.
** - Hard to tell: there was quite a bit of improvisation and some of the skits sorta bled into each other.
