Ok, I need to share my thanksgiving moments with everyone. I'll start with Red Alert's birthday party on thanksgiving eve. It was absolutely insane! I went through so many old school songs, taking everyone on a musical journey. The crowd, which included the likes of Chris Lighty, Kwame, Grand Master Flash, Sincere Thompson, Beast, Uncle Ralph, Ed Lover, the Industry Co-sign crew, Darren Pheffer from Power 105.1, and so many others, never stopped dancing. At one point I took a chance and started playing slow songs from DeBarge, The O'Jays and Switch, reminding everyone what the Red Light basement parties were like back in the day.

After the party I headed to Maryland to spend thanksgiving with my family. Now I have a question. Am I the only person out there with an aunt that used to cook well but now in her older age the food is extremely bland? My gosh, she insisted on cooking everything! I couldn't eat a full plate of food! Everyone close to me knows that I'm a sweet potato pie fanatic. I didn't have one slice of pie because it looked like it was prepared with papier-mache. And another thing, why do older people feel that when they slice the turkey, it's ok for them to use their hands? The worst part of it all is that she packed it all up for us to take home. Now that's a real doggy bag! :-(
