Thanksgiving day nears...


Ahoy All,

         No medical content, just a quick note this morning, as there will be a rather lengthy musical post Wednesday night for your over- the -T-day weekend perusal.  It was promised back in June and may just plant an an ear worm.    New subscribers might want to take a quick look at the post on earworms found here: ear-worms-no-not-that-kind.html

      Turkey Confidential 2013 is this year's permutation of Lynne Rosetto-Casper's annual  Splendid Table  call in show- it used to be called Turkey Triage, and had some hilarious call-in disasters. Most notably,  the  one from the "guys" who were handling  "Cooking the Turkey"  in their new deep-fryer who had a "football accident" and tipped it over in the driveway mid-cooking.  This year she has an all star lineup and some great "Swanksgiving" recipies.  Check it out, and you can stream it on T-Day from her site, splendidtable.org

Soundtrack:
Anyone else find it interesting that what was a pretty strong anti-draft song has made it into the Americana Thanksgiving  Obligatory Radiocast. 

Alice's Restaurant Massacre Illustrated

( with circles and arrows )

       And as our gummint threatens to start talking 'bout maybe passing some kind of Immigration Reform, here are two 'toons  about the European Invasion Thanksgiving that might liven up the conversation should your table be too quiet.





bon appetit,

Chris and Anne

    So what is the take-away message from Arlo's song?

    It is ok to be a litterbug if it gets you out of the draft?

      20 something,

      I think the hook in the story/song is at

      when he springs the "Emperor has no Clothes " moment.

      I sat on the same Group W bench a few years later, after the lottery had been instated.
