It was a great night.  Mitchell cooked the turkey &#8211; his first &#8211; and although it was placed in the pan upside down it was dee-lish.  We had new friends and old &#8211; worlds colliding &#8211; Tigh and Hubbell were there (I wrote about them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=8152\">here<\/a>), the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=8753\">aforementioned Ken<\/a> was there &#8230; Ted was there &#8230; Bobby &#8230; many of them did not know one another, so it was a great night.  Watching Tigh shriek at Bobby about why the downfall of the studio system wrecked Hollywood forever is an image I will not forget.  Jackie was in training to be an EMT at that point, so she went around the table as we ate and took our blood pressure, for practice.<\/p>\n<p>Ken and Jackie started dancing in the kitchen area, and things got a little bit out of control.  As you will see.  The whole series ends with one of my favorite pictures of all time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/3185097923_3f09cfea55_c-e1665940755164.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"502\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-182015\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/3184632455_09198d0e28_c-e1665940776768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"505\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-182016\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/3185880076_71250de7d0_c-e1665940769828.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"507\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-182017\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/3185139613_744e0cbf3d_c-e1665940762519.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"498\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-182018\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/3185289375_b42d64bfbc_c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"579\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-182019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/3185289375_b42d64bfbc_c.jpg 799w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/3185289375_b42d64bfbc_c-200x145.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/3185289375_b42d64bfbc_c-400x290.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/3185289375_b42d64bfbc_c-100x72.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/3185289375_b42d64bfbc_c-768x557.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One year, Jackie hosted Thanksgiving at her basement apartment (with rubber floors) and everyone who couldn&#8217;t get home to family that year convened.
