Need to do over Thanksgiving break:
1. Read and respond to Sports Lit analysis essay drafts.
2. Read and respond to African-American Lit research essay drafts.
3. Prep next Monday's classes.
4. Catch up on the ironing.
5. Clean bathrooms. Sweep floors. Dust.
6. Bite my tongue.
Want to do over Thanksgiving break:
1. Drive north. Drive south. In between, spend time with family.
2. Bake pumpkin yeast rolls. Cook green beans.
3. Eat really good food at Thanksgiving pot-luck with extended family.
4. Take long walks in woods with camera.
5. Attend basketball game.
6. Celebrate.
Somehow those two lists will mesh into one big mass of baking ironing walking cleaning talking traveling reading writing biting celebrating wonderfulness, but right now it's just a list of ingredients on the Recipe Card of Life, like the cranberry chutney I make every year: some sweet ingredients, some sour, some zesty, some bland, but the end result satisfies, and for that I am thankful.

Even before scrolling down (only the first list appeared on my screen at first), I guessed that there must be a gathering w/ extended family and/or acquaintances in the mix, thanks to #6 (and the absence of an intense Thanksgiving-dinner-prep agenda).
May the two lists indeed yield a satisfying blend.
Thanks! And a heaping helping of the same to you!
