Turkey remains the hands down holiday tradition for Thanksgiving Day. Did you know that Ben Franklin thought the turkey should be our national symbol? Cooking a turkey can be tricky.

Uncle Jay is a rerun this week, but: it’s from January 19th, the day before Obama was inaugurated president. I looked back in the archives, and it turns out I wasn’t posting Uncle Jay at that time. As a matter of fact, the inauguration took place about one week before the advent of My Other Blog. On January 19th, it was still Clark Bunch’s Weblog. Sad, huh?

Teresa and I moved to KY in 2003, and this week helped produce our 14th school play since we’ve been here.
Pictured is the cast of Fairy Tale Courtroom, in which the Big Bad Wolf and the Wicked Witch stand trial for their various offenses. This play has dwarves, princesses, flying monkeys, a prince, one magic mirror, and the list goes on.
