It's Thanksgiving day here in America. Yesterday was the busiest travel day of the year (or Sunday will be... it's neck and neck). All the airports and highways are usually clogged to the breaking point or beyond. Family members across our nation were stressed to the max trying to get their herds and shit together to make the trip to Grandma's or Aunt's house to have a family gathering that can be one of the best days of the year.
Accidents happen. Weather happens. Cars break down. People get drunk. Inter-family fights that can cause rifts that last years or for ever...happen. People who have nobody might eat TV dinners alone. We Americans have hundreds of thousands or troops overseas. They and their loved ones are sad today and probably more than a little afraid. Holidays cover the whole spectrum. But there's turkey, stuffing , green bean casserole, cranberries and of course the NFL. So it's not all bad right? I had the turkey feast with my family last night. I'm working tonight because the Falcons (Atlanta's pro football team) have a game. It's the first time in my 35 years that I've not had turkey, family and football all together on this day. It's a little weird. But I cant *really* complain. I have a job that pays alright, a home that's warm or cool as the weather demands, more turkey than I can eat (where are those leftovers anyway?), and lots of family who love me. It's tradition on Thanksgiving to take stock of the things you're thankful for. I'm thankful for you lot. Admittedly, you're not in the top tier on my list <evil grin> Family and love take that spot pretty well. But my friends on this list and others on the internet are a nice piece of life. So thanks guys and gals for being there, being funny, being thoughtful (yes, really), and being friendly (mostly). Cheers.
