Well, another Thanksgiving has come and is nearly gone. Here in New England, as in most of the Northeastern US, we received a good deal of snow on Wednesday. I like to look at snow, but I hate shoveling. Man, what a pain in the ass. I'm out there sliding around the driveway, shoveling away, and I go to toss this one big shovel full of slush, ice, and wet snow and the handle pops right off my shovel and it goes skittering into the yard. It was cold as hell, the wind was blowing, yeah... Shoveling sucks.
In other news, the Patriots played today and won. It was definitley some sloppy football. Lots of penalties, too many unfinished scoring opportunities. I mean really, a field goal to cap their first drive? Bullshit. However, a win is a win, and at least our kicker didn't have his nose splashed across his face. Beating the Lions isn't the same as beating the Packers or the 49ers, though, and until we get a few good teams smacked down into our win column, I'm going to continue to be a little worried about our post-season potential.
Overall it was a good day: I saw my family, everyone was safe and accounted for, and we ate turkey and watched football. Compared to today's happenings in the Middle East, we lucked out, and we have a lot to be thankful for.
