Throwback Thursday (11-28-19)

Hi everybody,

This week's Throwback Thursday moment is another picture of me from a few years back eating some turkey (and chicken croquettes) from a local diner.  Since it is Thanksgiving...I figured I should share a turkey themed picture.  Seeing this picture is getting me hungry for the Thanksgiving feast.
