Thanksgiving 2008 and Celebrity Sightings

I spent Thanksgiving at Mike and Maggie Schabel's house in Parma, OH.  We were joined by Bob, Kathleen, and Joe.  We ate most of the usual food associated with Thanksgiving.  During the festivities, we completed choosing names for the family gift exchange.  In addition, we called Aunt Rita.  She seems to be doing fine.  It was a nice and quiet affair.

In other news, Bob and I saw Sarah Vowell at the Cleveland Public Library Auditorium on November 16.  It was so crowded that we were standing in the lobby watching her on a television screen.  It wouldn't surprise me if her talk appeared on either local Public Access cable (Cleveland) or C-Span 2 (Not Available on Time Warner Basic cable locally).  She was quite amusing even when she was reading from her books.  I haven't read any of her books, but maybe I will someday.

Seeing the Love Chef on Live with Regis and Kelly this week, (The show title will be underlined when I use a different browser that supports underlining.  I am presently using Apple Safari.) I was reminded that I saw the Love Chef at Parmatown Mall approximately 15 years ago. I didn't talk to him, but I can say that I saw him in person!    

In closing, I hope that you all had a nice Thanksgiving!
