This year I nailed it perfectly. Told everyone to be here for dinner at
4PM and sure enough, turkey was done by 3:30PM as was everything else.
Re-heated the butternut squash and broccoli casserole while I was
carving up the bird.

As I've posted before, this had to be one of the best Thanksgiving
gatherings we've ever had.

I found out what happened to my friend from Atlanta. She tried renting a
car with a debit card and it kept declining. Turns out new consumer
protection rules shorten the hold period on debit cards to 5 days while
credit cards are 30 days.

They should have made it 10 days like it used to be.
