Well, back now from a 5:30 a.m. trip to CompUSA's post-Thanksgiving supersale, along with other diehards and insomniacs. Scarfed up a Motorola wireless router for $9.99 after rebates and a few other goodies. Lots of folks lining up at the malls, etc.
Don't know what President Bush is doing today, but it sounds like he had a good Thanksgiving Day yesterday.
President Bush spent a down-to-earth Thanksgiving Day at his ranch eating leftovers and riding his mountain bike — a world away from Baghdad, his secret destination a year ago.Bush also called members of the military stationed around the world, most of them deployed to the Middle East.
It was a dual celebration: His twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, marked their 23rd birthdays on the family's ranch. Also at the home were Laura Bush and her mother, Jenna Welch, and the president's parents, former President Bush and Barbara Bush.
The family worked on leftovers from Wednesday's luncheon meeting with Spain's King Carlos and Queen Sofia. That meal had a Thanksgiving theme, with free-range turkey and gravy, mashed sweet potatoes, bass caught at the ranch, stuffing, pan-roasted vegetables, pecan and pumpkin pies with ice cream. There was cake Thursday for the twins' birthdays.
Bush also rode his bicycle on the trails at the 1,600-acre ranch, and chopped cedar, White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said.
Our feast yesterday was also great and we anticipate succulent leftovers too.
