Turkey Day Tip #1
Don't go to the grocery the day before Thanksgiving. I almost had to kick some housefrau ass to get canned pumpkin and apples. [My contribution for tomorrow is a pumpkin-apple pie. I decided to save a bunch of time and buy ready made crusts, that homemade shit is annoying to make.]

Turkey Day Tip #2
Don't go to the liquor store the day before Thanksgiving. Almost as crowded as the grocery, but not quite as bad. I didn't feel the need to kick any ass to get my bottles of Beaujolais. But it was still annoying.

Turkey Day Tip #3
Avoid anything remotely family-related. The best Thanksgiving I ever had was last year when I spent the whole day and night driving from Atlanta to Rochester by myself. (in 14.5 hours) Good times.

Turkey Day Tip #4
If you aren't able to avoid any family entanglements, be the really drunk relative that sits in a dark room and ignores everyone. Or volunteer to run to the store frequently to get the "forgotten items." This will let you be gone for hours while search for "any place that was open." You can actually combine the 2 methods and you'll be all set.

Happy Thanksgiving.
