Ruth -

I had figured you'd have to start the bird the night before at that size!  I
suppose there is a lot of frozen turkey/sandwich leftovers for all your
guests so they can continue to celebrate for the next few days.

Good going for Aunt Eleanor.  I plan on living to be at least 95 and won't
be in a NH for that.  I'm having too much fun pulling my hair out trying to
figure out how to best run a coffee shop to die any time soon.
