      Actually, that was my in-laws today. Since I have major food smell issues, I only went into my wife’s aunt’s garage after they had Thanksgiving lunch (I hung out at my old alma mater’s student union building in a comfy chair in a lounge next to a fireplace) and everyone came up to me and hugged me. Which made me feel super awkward because it was like a hug line. Thankfully, my daughter was very insistent upon leaving right after I got there, so I didn’t have to stay and deal with that for long.
