I never thought I could happily go a season without a turkey kill. New Year’s Eve I lost my childhood best friend to cancer at age 37. On Inauguration Day we unexpectedly lost my otherwise healthy grandmother to a heart attack. Three weeks later I lost my Papa who had been ill for a few years. Turkeys somehow seemed so unimportant this season. I did call up a couple for others, but the few I had access to just seemed better alive than dead to me this year.
Between all the chaos and pain and the fact that I see turkeys everyday at work, I just fell off the wagon. I’m proud for all of you fellows and ladies that had a great season. I’ll try to get my mind right for next year. FWIW, I’m seeing the most poults ever right now, so I think we’re back on our way to the good old days! I predict 2023 will be memorable.
