THE DAY AFTER

What a great day after giving thanks. Black Friday aside. Is there any other holiday that basks like the day after Thanksgiving? All those leftovers. Cold turkey is just as good as that cut from the bird bone by carving knife the day prior. And does pie ever go bad? Ok purists, just tilt the plate and the water will drain off.

After all that food, one of my favorite pastimes is a must: an afternoon nap. Even those who have never enjoyed that siesta can snooze or lose on this day after. In warm weather climes, there's nothing better than letting the sun warm your body as you sleep in a chaise or a hammock. Though hammock dosers may have to time their nap just so in order to get the sun angles perfectly.

After the nap, there are usually some sports on the tube, though most of the better ones were played yesterday. Well, except for the Lions. But most males pretty much have the house to themselves since the ladies are still shopping, so don't do any yard work because it won't be appreciated. Wait until the womenfolk are home to see how much of a trooper you are.

There is one caveat about Thanksgiving and the day after. It was given by some model or actress, heck maybe a singer named Kate Moss. It's a quote that I put on our snack door cabinet: "No food tastes as good as skinny feels." And I'll leave you with that.
