Thanksgiving, the event around which we organized this trip, a trip in which I'm already on my 15th journal entry, has come and passed. And frankly, it was anticlimactic. It was just a meal. Sure, if was a big meal, with family and friends, but this year it seemed subdued.
From my inlaws' house in central Pennsylvania we drove over to their family friends' house well east of town. It's the same tradition they've celebrated for decades— and which we've joined them on many times in the last several years. Most of the same people as always were there. But the energy of the evening I remember from past years was not. Maybe it's an aspect of us all getting older.
