Re: Happy Thanksgiving

Oh now Josh, why'd ya wanna go an' spoil Donna's nice warm fuzzy? :+)
However, if the beer story is true, I'm not helping ol' Sam out. I don't
drink beer. I, for one, am quite pleased with his selection of a
Thursday. It gives me a nice long weekend. And I'm not one of those who
hits the stores at 5:30 am on Firday to start Cmas shopping.
