  • Turkey Day 2009

    The big day is here. Lots of overeating, over cooking, over and under planning. Lots of family and friends arguing if eating turkey makes you sleepy. I'm sure overdosing on all the other carbs may have something to do with that!

    Lots of folks head to the Eastern Shore' [...]
