Happy Thanksgiving!!
Hey everyone! Today is Thanksgiving which for me means eating some of Mom's famous dry turkey. Actually the dry turkey part is a tradition I haven't enjoyed in 20 years. That's right. This year will be the first Thanksgiving I've had with my Mom in 20 years. I'm not exaggerating about the turkey being dehydrated either. If you stretched out the meat, you would have a mighty fine rope to wrangle cattle. But I will have plenty of Aquafina on hand, so I should be okay.
I know, I know. I shouldn't be so flippant about my Mom's cooking. It detracts from
the true meaning of Thanksgiving-football! More specifically Dallas Cowboys football.
Yes, I will be watching Tony Romo and the boys stomp all over the New York Jet
s; granting I don't choke on some dark meat first.
There I go again mocking this precious national holiday when I should be thankful I live in a country that protects my freedom to grow up to be a mechanic.
After our meal my brothers Ricky and John and I will be going to the local cineplex to enjoy a movie or two or three. Yes, we will be sneaking into as many movies as possible without paying. What's Thanksgiving without some petty crime?
I hope everyone enjoys their feast today, whether it's turkey or ramen noodles. If you're not doing anything, you're welcome to stop by Mom's and enjoy some pumpkin pie (as long as you don't mind a little burnt crust).
