I took today off from work, and it's a good thing I did. I feel like crap. Sore throat and a headache. Trudging through a day of meetings, email and phone calls would have crushed me.

Instead, I prepared for the holiday. First thing, I wrapped the smoker in insulation to try to keep the temperature up. I used special water heater wrap, so it should stand up to the heat. Take a gander.

Since I was at the hardware store, a few other things around the house got done. A broken dimmer switch, an old water filter, a broken ceiling light fixture, and two pull chains all got repaired today. Go me.

In other Thanksgiving news, Heidi's with the brining program and has a funny post.

I forgot to post a few goodies, so take a look at Brad's post about a rainbow near work a few days ago. The pictures (thanks to Mr. P) don't do it justice. It was the most amazing rainbow I've ever seen.

Being Daddy posted about the Breakup of the Wiggles. Now remeber, I work at the Disney Channel and we make and air the Wiggles. I emailed the link to our President of Entertainment, and he liked it. It's hi-larious!
