Tree choppin…
My brother and his family have a tradition of going to a ‘cut-it-yourself’ farm and cutting down their Christmas tree on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Today we gathered the gang and went to go a chopping. There were several to choose from, but in the end it was a 6+ foot douglas fir that was chosen. My sons helped cut it down, which was a treat for them (having only had the experience of unpacking and setting up our artificial tree). Despite the cold, we had a good time. We then went to the Chatterbox (a burger joint) for a late lunch and then came home to watch the parade once again. Actually, Sid had not seen it, despite several screenings at the house.
The good news was that I was able to do a capture of my NBC premiere as a pirate. In the clip below, I come in from the right side of the screen and say, “Arrr. Happy Thanksgiving!” This is the same clip as Karen had posted a couple of days ago, but because my brother has a widescreen TV, I wasn’t cut off from this clip. I did not, as Karen did though, copy the rest of the pirate “time” on NBC…though, as Karen points out, I end up in the middle of the screen for another couple of seconds. And with that, for your viewing pleasure…
Cheers,
Merle
