Then made our traditional Thanksgiving dinner: tacos. This year an especially good one, since we had ground buffalo rather than ground beef for the tacos.
Finally, watched WVU play Pitt. Wish there were cause for rejoicing in the outcome. But as Tom remarked in the closing seconds of the game, "Rich, your team underachieved severely this year. Count me a dissatisfied fan."
Reached audio saturation with the Big East athletes' self-encomium; that ad now gets Instant Mute (for as long as Congress will allow me to mute ads).
Advertised product to which I can just say "no": Bacardi Silver green-apple low-carb malt beverage. Color me incredulous.
