	<strong>One game....63 years ago?  </strong>
</p>

<p>
	<strong>I personally have absolutely NO problem with the fact that the Browns have rarely ever played on Thanksgiving.  It would always be an away game it seems in either Dallas or Detroit, and I think they have never won on T-day.  So, to hell with the Browns playing on Thanksgiving.</strong>

	Yep, forgot about that one. I keep a Wild Turkey in a bottle just in case someone should come looking. I don’t think even the fleetest of the Browns could run down the ones out back.   <br />
	  Plus it was a good way for the guys to bond as a team. Screw that putt putt or bowling. <br />

	pumpkin pie - follow the recipe on the LIbby's pure pumpkin can - except add a 1/4 tsp more of your favorite spices, I don't like ginger, so I don't add more of that. And, depending, add a good bit more sugar, depending on how sweet you want it. It makes a pie so good, I can't stand much pumpkin pie bought anywhere, almost, or at any restaurant.
</p>

<p>
	   btw, we went to the Dutch Valley restaurant out in Amish country, near Sugarcreek? The coconut cream pie was ...
</p>

<p>
	magnificent.  Unbelievably awesome. The chocolate cream pie was ok, but the coconut cream pie was ...wow.
