Happy Thanksgiving
My view of Thanksgiving was skewed by my Father’s attitude. Having grown up on a poultry farm, he saw the holiday as the culmination of weeks of work “processing” dozens of turkeys to be frozen and readying a few dozen more for fresh delivery. We generally ate ham when he was alive.
Having been on my Grandfather’s farm at this time of year I can understand my Dad’s attitude: our meal was subject to interruption by people picking up a fresh turkey at the last minute. A sale is a sale when you are business for yourself.
Thanks to Fox the WKRP turkey drop isn’t readily available on YouTube, although Hulu apparently has it. Watching it was long a tradition at our house.
Enjoy your meal and try to forget about the world’s problems for a day – they’ll still be there on Friday.
