Thanksgiving Postmortem

Well, Thanksgiving is now over, and we are forced to realize the cold hard facts here at Loopness. We all ate too much, and overindulged until we could indulge no more. Then we woke up and did it all over again. Lots of sleep was needed to overcome the glorious day of excess. The damage to our cholesterol counts aside in the very back of our consciousness, it was a really great day. The cheescake that I made was a big hit with Jana's family. There was even a request for me to make another one for an upcoming birthday. This was probably the same person who ate 3 slices of it that day! Of course, I mean, really who could blame them? Have you ever had that cheesecake recipe? If you have then you know that, "Gram's Cheesecake" as we affectionately call it, can be insanely addictive. In fact, I believe that if the a previous Surgeon General (Mr. C. Everett Koop) were to try it he might release a statement that it is as addictive as heroin. OK, maybe that is being a little extreme, but even so, I'm not completely convinced that it is too extreme. It's good, and that is an understatement of ridiculous portions (the portions pun was thrown in for Dad).

The evening was a good one as the Longhorns survived an inspired Texas A&M team that fought really hard for all 4 quarters. The buzz around the sports world is that young Colt McCoy (see how I did that - working in the name of the last guy to play QB at Texas in the same phrase with the current QB - nice huh?) may have just catapolted himself into 1st place in the Heisman race (wow - puns, wordplay, and rhymes - I'm on a roll here). It was a stellar performance for sure. I'm still not convinced that it wasn't A&M's defense that made him look so good, but fair is fair and the Horns' defense made A&M look pretty good too.

Tomorrow is a big day. Rivalry day for Florida and Florida State. Looking forward to 2:30 CST :)

Be good,a nd if you can't, at least be good at it ;)
