Not going to the parade, but do plan on watching it - gotta do something on
a day off (yup, we decided to be closed on T-day - Mr. Pam & I are going to
mom's to have a stuffed capon - as opposed to a stuffed caper).  The only
coffee brewing will be in my mother's Mr. Coffee, but at least I know it'll
be GOOD coffee brewing.
