"CRAYONS!" Thanksgiving...
Special shout-out to my reader/friend/donor & the repository of every line of “Slap Shot” dialogue ever uttered, Bobbe K. Thank you, Bob! And, yes, I have been to The Palm Isle!

Today’s Theme: Thanksgiving …
• It’s borderline sacrilegious but I request you include in your Thanksgiving blessing a prayer that God mention to Tom Petty that we still really miss him.
• Ask friends if the nation of Turkey has a national bird.
• Optimists understand phrase "familiarity breeds contempt" is not absolute. Often is the case that familiarity breeds family.
• Families are God's way of proving we're incapable of helping even those we love the very most.
• Daughter, 16, said she wants to have a big family. What she means is she wants to choose who's in her family.
• It is one of our greatest paradoxes, but a really big family can also serve as one of nature's most affirmative contraceptives.
• It wasn't done by design but my go-to bourbon has become the one that best describes me. I'm not a Jack or a Daniel, a Jim or a Beam. What am I? I'm a turkey who on occasion still gets a little wild. #WildTurkey
Kitchen …
• There must be a baker's equivalent to "piece of cake" that is not "piece of cake." Because if a baker says something is going to be a piece of cake and shows up with a pie instead he could be accused of loafing -- and don't get me started on bakers who loaf.
• Remember, it's okay to cook on a spit, but never spit on your cook.
• The loud, jarring phenomenon that occurs when that evening’s meal preparer tries to remove the 13th pan from the bottom of a drawer designed to hold not more than 10 is "Panvalanche." Panvalanche activity also common in sinks stacked with too many dirty dishes.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
