Once again it is Saturday and we get to recover a bit from the Thanksgiving relatives and food. And, that will take some recovering.

Meanwhile, an old and predictable scene is playing out at my house. We bought a new HDTV. It isn’t a huge one but it replaces a tube TV, which can only be described as having a very fat behind. It is also too heavy for only one man to move and I am no help in that endeavor. Hubby, as always, promised that he will dispose of old fatso at the dump, where there is a shed for no longer wanted but none the less usable stuff. But, he is conflicted. Throwing working things out is a sin. And so, old fatso is presently taking up valuable space on the bedroom floor.

He wants to give it away, but no one wants it. We will argue. We will trip over it. It will be an unused reminder of our place in this disposable society. Maybe it will be moved to the basement where it will be in his way and will keep company with other unwanted but possibly usable stuff, cramming that space and making the space itself useless. Eventually, of course, it will make its way to the dump, but by then it will be so old that there will be no chance that someone else will take it.

On this Thanksgiving weekend I am thankful for many things, family, friends, blogs and a new president among them. Old fatso, however, does not make the list.

Uh oh, little granddaughter who is visiting, is awake and wants breakfast and attention which she is very good at getting.

Gotta get going. Have a good one!
