Fitness on the Wire: After Turkey Day
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Sun, 11/25/2012 - 7:09pm

Relatives who haven’t seen each other for years get together for ego mashing over the potatoes. You end up with a migraine and a killer desire for pie. And we were born with overdeveloped guilt feelings regarding pie.
