Giving Thanks for Surviving Thanksgiving + RIDE REQUEST for Thursday Dec. 2

I was exceedingly careful at Thanksgiving dinner.  I barely ate any of my own contributions to the holiday meal -- Blue Hubbard squash stuffed with roasted Brussels sprouts and chestnuts, plus my Very Seedy Hallah -- but the hosts and 15 guests all loved them, so I felt satisfied.  I barely ate anything else that was served, either, just a few bites of sweet potato, pumpkin muffin, and, with great trepidation, a stalk of well steamed broccoli.  Basically I ate very little, went home hungry.  Who goes home hungry from Thanksgiving dinner?  Oh, well, it matters not.  The main thing is that my strategy proved successful: nothing untoward happened, not even serious gut pain, so I felt -- and continue to feel -- extremely grateful.  And I keep drinking gallons of water.

Next medical test -- ERCP -- scheduled for this Thursday, December 2. Thanks in advance to David G. for the post-anaesthesia ride home from Beth Israel. 

Anybody out there available to drive me to the hospital this Thursday morning?  I have to be there at 11.  We could sing together in the car...
