Thanksgiving 2005

Email exchange with client

JC: Well, if you knew how I'd spent Thanksgiving, you'd probably credit me with being a true American. I had a turkey dinner last Thursday in a trailer park (Cardiff Beach State Park - Encinitas) playing poker, drinking Coors Lite, watching football and learning the names of Nascar drivers.

Client: Whoa. Coors Lite in a trailer park and learning the names of NASCAR drivers?? With that you’ve descended from “sophisticated English gentry”, flown past “true American” and inadvertently landed at “unabashed redneck”! Sorry, but those traditions just don’t carry the same allure as those of a Charles Dickens Christmas in England, or better yet a Monty Python Christmas (if there is such a thing).

“You can’t call yourself King just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!!”
