"A Nice Family Gathering"
By Phil Olson
Directed by Doug Instenes
A quirky Minnesota family is gathering for the first Thanksgiving without Dad--sort of. He died with unfinished business and comes back to tell his wife he loved her, something he failed to do during their 35 years of marriage. Dad encounters a couple of obstacles, only his younger son can see or hear him, and Mom has invited a man to dinner.
