NaBloPoMo 2020 Zoom Thanksgiving

 So that was lovely and making the best of it and all. We just got off of Zoom Thanksgiving with the fambo. Three little Zoom windows enjoying dinner. It was the culmination of a great cooking extravaganza by Tom. He even made an amazing gluten-free, vegan pumpkin pie:

Tom's pumpkin pie with a concentric circle of pecans.
Yes, the recipe said to "place pecans in a concentric circle."
Check and check.

The afternoon was not without unplanned excitement. A bird somehow got inside the house. I don't mean a turkey kind of bird you'd expect to be in the house on Thanksgiving, I mean like an actual bird bird. Suddenly it was just flying around in the living/morning room.

Tom chased it around for a little bit and finally it flew into the bathroom. He opened up the window and the bird flew out. He swears the bird hopped into the house by squeezing around the side of a mostly closed screen door. If true, that bird was on some kind of mission to go through so much trouble. We should inventory our valuables.

I missed the whole thing, having selected a fairly spectacular moment in hindsight to go out for a walk. By the time I came back, the bird was gone and Tom had already changed his shirt. You can get a little sweaty chasing a bird around.

Now we're going to watch the Crown. We skipped to the last season. I know how it ends anyway, having lived through it and all. Petrina said she's watching "Windsors" so I guess it's a thing, this pursuit of the royal juggernaut, in the middle of a pandemic. Lots of room for social distancing in those palaces.
