I am ridiculously tired tonight. As in – zero energy. None at all. And yet, I don’t want to go to sleep. Instead, I am eating peanut butter pie frozen custard with chocolate sauce and writing blog posts. This is, of course, what makes Sunday nights and the inevitable creep…
I’m headed to Atlanta today for a quick business trip – as in I’ll be back home tomorrow night. (Yep, that quick.) I’ll be meeting with others in the turkey industry to continue plans on some exciting new ways to promote the consumption of more turkey all year long. But…
