NORWALK, Conn. — It’s Thanksgiving Day, and many of us are having a bird.
Not to say many aren’t “having a bird” on a daily basis, but that’s another story.
For many years, my Thanksgiving tradition involved getting out of bed, bundling up and heading for either Barnstable High School or Guv Fuller Field in Falmouth, both on Cape Cod, to cover the annual Thanksgiving Day football game between the two biggest schools on the Cape. Later, it meant driving 60 miles from Hyannis to Brockton, Mass., to work a holiday shift in the newsroom. And later still there were Thanksgiving shifts in Boston, Florida and New Jersey.
This year will be a bit different. NancyOnNorwalk’s focus means no football, no holiday fluff features, no fires or accident coverage. It means we get to take a bit of a break for a few days, just like so many others, to spend with family and to recharge the batteries.
We will have fresh stories each day through the weekend, but not as many as usual. We will keep an ear to the ground for breaking stories, but, with most government entities shut down until Monday, we expect a quiet few days.
So enjoy the holiday weekend as will we. We will get back up to speed Dec. 1 — yes, MonSunday is Dec. 1. Already.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
