Thanksgiving Deserves A Minute
I didn’t really mean to go radio silent for the last week or so, but last week sucked the soul right out of my body and you really wouldn’t have wanted to read anything I had to say. The short version is that this is the time of year we start in the dark and finish in the dark and PJP is just a time vortex where it’s 5am and then it’s 5pm and I can’t even tell you where the time went.
Here’s a round up:
Thanksgiving orders have officially closed. Whew. I haven’t seen a final number just yet, but It’s more than 2,000 and the devil lies in the details of that. I’m trying to take it one day at a time.
The president of one of our food delivery companies came to see me late last week to ask me opinions about a lot of things and not surprisingly, this is not the time of year to ask me opinions about a lot of things unless you want honest answers. And what I want is 25 pound flour at the price break of 50 pound flour because I can carry 25 pound flour.
Now we move into the week where every purchase requires an interrogation. The number of days people are willing to refrigerate a coconut cream pie to have it for Thanksgiving is alarming and concerning.
I've decided I should run for the presidency on a platform of two issues: A) Daylight Savings Time must be abolished, and B) every person in this country must work retail for a minimum of one year. This will make people exceptionally nicer to each other in general.
We lneed to decorate both stores for Christmas, but I can’t even guess where we will find time for that in the next 10 days. Add to my presidential bid: SLOW THE ROLL ON CHRISTMAS BECAUSE THANKSGIVING DESERVES A MINUTE.
