Turkeys

Here we are, with another Thanksgiving upon us. I saw a show about the history of Thanksgiving on TV recently. One of the commentators said that it's the only real holiday that can't be commercialized. I like that. I spent turkey day in a foreign country a few years ago. It was a bit strange. It was just a normal Thursday for everyone. Kids went to school. Businesses were open and the government wasn't on vacation (physically, not mentally). So, it made me think about they whole day even more. I think that it was one of my best Thanksgivings. This coming one is shaping up to be similar to the last couple of years, with a few exceptions. It looks like there will be less family squabbling than in years past - I think that people are finally starting to grow up and learn to get along with each other. Also, 'more' importantly, it looks like I'll be brewing beer on turkey day. So, honestly, how could that be a bad thing???
