I went to your house today but you weren't home. OK the truth is that I saw your house on the Google street-view thing and your car was not in the driveway.
Gobble, gobble (that's a live turkey because someone had tofu instead)--happy Thanksgiving from someone who is very thankful for you and loves you very much...
