It's always Thanksgiving somewhere

Well, while everyone else was enjoying Thanksgiving dinner here in the US (and abroad for those die-hard Americans), we were still planning. Illness struck a family member late Wed night and so, being nothing if not flexible, we quickly remade the arrangements. So while the rest of you are enjoying your turkey sandwiches and sneaking forksful of pie from the fridge, we will be sitting down to our meal. Hopefully the patient will be able to join us. Just one other thing: IT IS REALLY HARD TO GET A DOCTOR ON THE PHONE ON THANKSGIVING! Took two hours for a callback, a bit freaky when a temperature is in the "call the doctor immediately" range.
