Frozen Turkeys

My dad owned a small business and every Thanksgiving he would order enough fresh turkeys from the butcher to give one to each employee. They were always huge birds – I remember one year we had a turkey so big it would not fit in the roasting pan my mother had and she sent my dad out to the store to buy a bigger pan.

Its been years since I ate fresh turkey at Thanksgiving. Now all the turkeys are frozen and you can even buy just the turkey breast or just the drumsticks if that’s what you like. I bought a big Butterball brand turkey for my Thanksgiving this year. Its just over 22 pounds – a big one.

Red Pen

Do you own a red pen? I have a bunch of pens that are black, a few that are blue, and not a single red one in the house. I want to use the red pen to mark a special set of files. Seems a little strange to get in the car and drive to the store just to buy a red pen. Maybe I’ll just do something else for the rest of the day and wait to pick up a red pen tomorrow on my way to the office.
