Victory

Even though while carving the turkey I sliced the hell out of my thumb, even though David had to pour cayenne pepper on the wound to stop it from bleeding profusely, even though the pain of the burn caused by the cayenne pepper lasted for hours and was at times excruciating, I have to say, honestly, tonight was one of the most peaceful and enjoyable Thanksgivings I've ever had. And most importantly, Annie was happy.

Didn't you have any Jack Daniels? That's what we used in our early desert days to quell the pain. Of course we drank it! (not sure if it stemmed the blood though...)

My grandfather used to throw back a shot of whisky for a flu which I've done, but JD for a sliced finger? Sounds like a desert thing to me Coop!
