wrapping up a great thanksgiving weekend here in the 302. had a great day thursday, from watching the macy's parade to feasting here at home seemingly all day long. erin and i started friday by joining the madness at 4:30am shopping for god knows what. took the kids to see "mr. magorium's wonder emporium" in the afternoon- terrific fim, possibly the best G-rated film i've ever seen, live action or animation. trekked up to longwood gardens today- an arboretum/garden not too far away with some great holiday decorations. nice way to kick off the season.
my folks were here for all the above, which was great. too often lately it seems we only see them when they're watching the kids for us. can't remember the last time we had 3 days to spend with them as a family. but that's what "the holidays" are about, right?

Thanks for answering the questions I posed to Rachel around 10:15 Friday morning: "Who actually gets up and goes shopping at 4am the day after Thanksgiving?"
Magnorium as the best G-rated movie of all time? (ALL those movies?)
Plu-eeeze! I'm going to list some G-Rated movies that totally own Magnorium:
1) Muppett Movie - so much butt-kickery here.
2) Willy Wonka - I still say "WRONG, SIR! WRONG" in the office once a week.
3) The King and I - A model of pro-western ethnocentricity, set to a beautiful Rogers & Hammerstein score.
4) Anything with Dan Hedaya or Randy Quaid - your readers will agree.
Thanks,
Donger
have you even seen magorium, donger? check it out, you won't be disappointed.
your comments are duly noted, and will be addressed in order:
muppets? great scenes and one-liners, but as a film, not even top 5.
wonka? terrific. another candidate for "possibly the best g-rated film". excellent call there.
king and i? please. just reminds you of the homeland, that's all.
randy quaid? comic genius.
OK point taken re:The King and I. We like happy endings where the Asian guy gets the white girl.
