Maybe you’re one of those Thanksgiving guests who believes holiday time with family is great, but best enjoyed in moderation, and the more moderation, the better (yes, that’s oxymoronic, but you get the drift.) So, the day is all about planning and timing: The goal is to stay until all the leftovers are gone and the afternoon football game is over but to leave right before the board games come out. That may be only about a three-minute window, so be ready, maybe even do some drills ahead of time, so you’re all timing your last bites of pecan pie as you’re pulling on your coats and the two-minute warning is being given in the game. And if someone in your party trips or has to make an ill-timed trip to the bathroom ... well, sometimes you have to leave a man behind. They’ll learn and be more prepared next Thanksgiving. Have fun playing Pictionary, son.
