A Little Schopenhauer

Politeness is to human nature
what warmth is to wax.

Arthur Schopenhauer, philosopher (1788-1860)

Must remember this when I am dealing with the family this Thanksgiving holiday...As my brother is the only one who has spawned offspring, we are all traveling to Mississippi to have the family celebration there. Saving him the nightmare of traveling a few hundred miles with two children under the age of two was the least we could do...

Must also remember to bring the valium. May be forced to slip it into the turducken...

I like that quote. So true.

I was offered valium on our Thanksgiving and expected to need it but I managed to get through it without. Hope you have as good of a time as we did!

It was great. Thanks Mel. Glad to hear your holidays were nice as well.

Only disadvantage to having family so spread out during the holidays--extremely long road trip!

Take care & keep in touch.
