My Cardboard Balcony

Here Are Some Things by Belinda Roddie Here are some things I learned this Thanksgiving: First of all, there is nothing wrong with your family celebrating one or two days early. Sometimes, work schedules are more than just a nuisance, so you have to try to tweak expectations for your loved ones. The second thing to learn is that if you plan to make tea in the microwave, please, for the love of God, remember to pour water into the mugs so you don't set your rented cabin ablaze. That would be a nightmare to pay for. And finally, remember that your family loves you, and they're sure thankful that you love them, too.
