Guitars and Lunch

If I actually knew how to play the guitar, I would totally want one of these. Although, apparently not knowing how to actually play the thing might not be such a hindrance, since Kitty gives guitar lessons.

Today, my firm returned to one of its annual traditions, our Thanksgiving lunch. Mind you, I've never actually attended one of our firm's Thanksgiving lunches, despite the fact that I've worked there for over four years. Thr first three years I was always out of the office on the day in question, and last year I was in the office but the line was so long to get in that I gave up and ate elsewhere. Today, some folks stopped by my office and convinced me to go with them, and I'm glad I did. When we have the lunch, the firm supplies the turkey, a ham and a vegetarian dish and the employees either bring a dish (which they sign up for in advance so we don't end up with 50 pies and no side dishes) or pay money, all of which is donated to a charity. Since no one wants to eat what I would cook (trust me) I happily made a donation and chowed down. While the food was good (though I'll admit I steered clear of any dishes I couldn't immediately identify and all oyster dressings, of which there were more than a few), it was even better to return to our traditions and catch up with folks I hadn't seen since Katrina.
