Well, for the past few days I've been living at my grandparent's/cousin's house. As usual, we've enjoyed our leisure, feasting, and service so far. Right now everyone's stuck on a movie, so I thought I'd just blog while they were busy with that.
It was the typical family Thanksgiving gathering yesterday, including the sugarfree pies, board games, and random family that somebody always invites. This year it was the Philips; the young men president's family. They have two teenage daughters and two (I think) little dudes.
Of course, Calvin designed a fantastic Heroscape board for us to play on that night. This time we let some of the younger kids participate, and even after us older guys were done the youngsters continued to fight in the battle between vikings/army men/aliens/FBI agents/dragons/knights/robots... We tend to think up crazy little stories and names for all of the figures as we go along just to make it more interesting. When Anthony's cleverness ensues, the whole game turns not only into an interesting war game but a standup comedy show. All of my Jarvis cousins have that sort of aura about them more or less; it must've been a talent they were working on in the pre-mortal existence.
Sigh, just hanging out. That's what my Thanksgiving is about.
