Wounded man seeks help at Ripken household
Grampa's dozing on the couch after his sixth Jack-and-Coke. Grandma's wandering in the backyard, babbling incoherently and making random stabbing motions. Uncle Jed is upstairs, doing a few lines before dinner is served. Cousin Jennie is out in the barn with her high school's entire offensive line and a video camera. And your mother is wondering where her Vicodin disappeared to- "Where IS that damn dog??". Yep, just another Thanksgiving with the family, eh? Well, it wasn't nearly as strange as it was at Cal Ripken's house....
