This remains one of those rare holidays about which I have no cynicism. It's not been commercialized. It's a day for reflection, and for family gatherings.
I am thankful for a wonderful wife, three silly cats, and this beautiful old house. I am thankful for the business my father created, a business that provides me a good job in a relaxed and casual environment. I am thankful for my health, for a world filled with wonderful things to discover, for the beauty all around me. I am thankful for books, and music, and computer games. Especially books.
I am thankful for this forum. I am thankful for friends. I am thankful for you.
Happy Thankgsgiving, everybody.
