Just a little report.
Starting with yesterday afternoon.
Three of us played soccer. Two of the three played the entire game. Two of the three came away with injuries.
Three = Ashlan, Jay & Carl
Two = Ashlan & Carl
Two = Jay & Carl
I’ll let you figure out the two and two.
We won 3-0. SHUTOUT for Carl.

Actually slept in a bit, and then off and doing.
Coffee (at home type)
Tables arranged for 12. Chairs borrowed so al 12 can sit at a table.

Excuse my ignorance, but how is the stereotypical Canada T-giving menu different from the USA one? We usually have to borrow forks…. [No comment on “Cream a whipping”….]

We have not been able to discern any real difference in the menu, but nobody has actually attended a real T-Day dinner in Canada. [Ashlan was invited this year, but chose to come south.]
The first few years we tried asking roommates and friends, but didn’t really get anywhere. Answers like, “Our family is vegetarian, so we just do our own thing.” [They were from India originally I believe.]
