About Thanksgiving

Here comes the holiday season, beginning with Thanksgiving. It is a time people usually spend at home with their families. As for me, I can't remember either the location or the year that my family actually had our Thanksgiving dinner together last time. Maybe it was my senior year in high school when all of us lived together in Bethesda, Maryland? I'll just say it is.

I remember on that Thanksgiving Day, my dad and I were grocery shopping at Giant for the big meal. A local news reporter approached us and asked why we were buying steak instead of turkey. Although the answer was, "we like steak betterthan turkey", the real reason was that, as a very Fobby family, nobody knew how to deal with a turkey. The news reporter wanted to take some shots of us making dinner in our kitchen. Therefore, my family was on the local news channel for 3 minutes that evening, when everybody was having dinner and not watching the local news.

This year, my sister Grace will fly from Charlottesville to Geneva and spend her Thanksgiving break with our parents. I am still not sure about where to go. Maybe I'll just stay in Carlisle; maybe I'll hang out with the Lin's in Maryland.

Hopefully, I can catch up with my schoolwork over the break, when the library is quiet.
