OFF LEASH: On pleasant surprises (from the archives)
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler.
I’m not sure exactly why -- and far be it from me to question -- but yesterday I was given turkey to eat. Good turkey, too, not some pre-digested mush that you squeeze from a packet. No, I’m talking about actual, moist, white turkey breast.
I was just standing there in the kitchen, doing what I do, when somebody reached down and handed me a little chunk of turkey. Wow, I wanted to say, where did that come from? But I didn’t. I played it cool, as if people hand me little bits of freshly cooked turkey all the time. Then, about ten minutes later, it happened again.
As far as I know, I haven’t been especially good lately. Not that I’ve been bad either; I’ve pretty much been my normal self. And yet, out of nowhere, I get turkey. It’s probably best not to over-analyze it and just be, you know, thankful.
