Thanksgiving at the Wookie household is off to a great start. My brother rear-ended my parents on their way home from church. I just got back from standing out in the rain as my dad tried to pry the body of the car away from the tire to watch for oncoming traffic. My dad was able to limp home with their car, which is basically totaled. It’s pretty old. My dad and my brother are getting my brother’s car towed to a shop for a quote, but they aren’t optimistic that they will have it fixed. So, I am thankful they are unhurt.
For Thanksgiving when eating we all go around the room and say what each of us is thankful for over the last year. Some really good ones from the fam this year including being thankful for beating cancer, being able to retire, surviving Covid, getting sober, new baby. Some truly heartfelt stuff.
Political discussion has generally been off limits for some time with us. When it was my youngest cousin’s turn she went with a “Thankful we have a real president in Joe Biden” to troll the Trumpers in the family. Well played little cousin. Well played.
It’s a very underrated sitcom. I think that they had a lot of problems with copyrights on all the music in the show, so when the distribution models changed from traditional broadcast to stuff like DVDs WKRP kind of got forgotten.
