I give all of my employees the day off so I do ALL the farmwork/chores myself that day - that's a lot of exercise with 40 horses to take care of.

I haven't had dessert in 20 years... seriously, I haven't or I'd be a blimp by now (I gain weight very, very easily) so I have no plans to have any dessert on Thanksgiving - I am way over those cravings.

I'm not giving up my after dinner glass of wine - its my reward for a looooonnnnngggg day of cooking and work.....

I dunno.

But good on ya for the bike ride. That's a LOT of cycling....
