All the trimmings

Does August even have any holidays that would justify eating a turkey? I don't think it does. But maybe I'm a Labor Day bird.

I don't even like to entertain hopes of being eaten for Thanksgiving, which is getting so close now. But last night I had that dream again.

Defrosting

Today I got poked, seriously jabbed, by a stalactite. Or is it a stalagmite? The ones that hang down, you know. A frigging icicle, okay?

Anyway, the owner put me, and all the other freezer inhabitants, out on the counter for at least 45 minutes while he chipped and chiseled away, getting the freezer defrosted. I have to say, there's a lot more room in here now. But what might the partial thawing have done to me?

Sometimes I'm pained by the sense of just how much younger I'm not getting.

Heat

It's on days like this that you're really glad you live in the freezer.

Didn't get eaten today, by the way.
