My son Tom worked with Louie Anderson 2.5 years ago.  Tom won a comedic contest on stage at the Northrop auditorium on the UWM campus in Minneapolis judged by Louie. Over 2000 in attendance.  Joan and I were there.  Tom talked extensively with Louie and was asked if he would mind having his picture taken with Louie's family.  Louie's family thought that Tom looked exactly like Louie!  

That night was fun for Tom.  Tom weighed over 400 pounds at the time. Much bigger than Louie. . . . . Today Tom weighs 155 . . .  For this we are thankful.  Tom no longer is in comedy. Here's Louie!
Since Thanksgiving is coming soon, I thought we might take a peek back to the late 1400's to see what the pilgrims were doing about this time of the month in approx. 1498 - just prior to Thanksgiving. 

First a few fun facts about the late 1400's.  
1 - The pilgrims iPhones ran out of power continuously due to lack of electricity.
2 - Although computers were common, the internet had not yet been invented.  Al Gore wasn't born until mid March 31, 1948.
3 - Surprisingly, according to our teachers, terrorists existed even in the early 1400's but were easy to identify. They wore moccasins, buckskin shirts and pants with fringes.  They had red skin and painted stripes on their faces.  Many wore feathers in their hair and carried primitive weapons.  They terrorize us yet today. . . but only financially!

Oh well, enough for the history lesson. I'm sure you all knew that stuff.


Now on behalf of all the turkeys I know, and some I don't, I make the following suggestion!
Till Next Week
