11/22/63

I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving yesterday.

I hope some of you remembered it was also the day JFK was killed in Dallas.

I am currently reading two new books on the subject, one real and one fiction, "Killing Kennedy" by Bill O'reilly and "11/22/63" by Stephen King (who was nice enough to keep his book down to 800-900 pages.) Actually, I started reading King's book and can't put it down, so O'reilly (is that how you spell his name? - rocket scientist will know) will have to wait until I finish the last 400 pages of King's.

I think I know how they both end. But you can never really tell with Stephen King.

Kids explain how to cook a turkey

From local newspaper. 2nd - 5th grade school kids from area elementary schools write in:


Kill it...

First kill a turkey. Then take all the fethers out. Next get a big bowl and put the turkey in the bowl and put it in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes at 101° F. Once it is done, put salad around it. Then cut some of it and put it in the salad. Next set your table and eat your turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
