Yes, it was a painful ritual, especially when my son was watching me carve the turkey asking what each part was. Needless to say, I wasn't very hungry after being reminding over and over again that this bird was once alive.
It is sad that we (Yanks) need to have a holiday to remind us to be thankful.
I like Laurence on the "George" board... He is up front and honest... or should I say Dave... Heck if Dave can be Laurence, I can be Brook here.lol..
