Jude, one of the interns, is a dependent of Air Force retirees; both mother and father. He took us to Yokato Air Force base to do some "Thanksgiving meal" grocery shopping at the commissary. While there, we enjoyed a meal at Chili's restaurant. Visiting the base was an interesting experience; it was like walking through a door leaving Japan, and entering the United States; plus the cost of the groceries was about a third of what it would have been at a Tokyo market.

Some of you have asked about our Thanksgiving. As you can see, we had a very nice turkey that was purchased at Costco.

This is at the home of Jeff and Kimberly, our team leaders. They had all of the team over for Thanksgiving lunch. They prepared the turkey and the rest of the team brought the other dishes. Martin caught me working on the deviled eggs.

Here we have sweet potato, green bean, and broccoli casseroles; and everyone's favorite- the dressing. Yum, yum, yum!

What do you do while waiting for everything to be ready? Tell silly Thanksgivng jokes.

"Which side of the turkey has the most feathers?" (the outside)

And, watch football.

Jeff and Kimberly are from Alabama and are big Auburn fans. So, we watched a DVD of an Auburn vs Georgia game that was played on October 31. Of course, Auburn won!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Chuo Line Tokyo Team!

We have much to be thankful for.
