Yeah, once I spent all of Christmas Day cheating on my wife and, wouldn't you know it, I forgot to open up presents!
That call was 8 shades of nuts.
I wasn't cheating. My husband and I are separating and there was nothing secret about my plans. He's relieved that he won't have to suffer through anymore special time with me.
Well I'm sorry to hear of your separation, JfC. I wasn't moralizing, just trying to highlight the contrast between the wholesomeness of a family holiday with... whatever it was that made you temporarily forget the concept of a Thanksgiving Dinner. That must've been pretty wild. Also, the idea of sharing this tale with an international radio audience struck me as hilarious, but to each his/her own.
In other words, I'm glad you got busy all day on Thanksgiving, and that somehow I deserved to know all about it.
I stand by my assertion that your call was nuts, but you seem like a decent enough person and I wish you all the best.
