Today was Thanksgiving day in the US. For my off-shore readers, it's our secular celebration of the fall harvest and a feast of extreme opulence. Yes, even the food kitchens put on an extra spoonful of beans on Thanksgiving.
Canada celebrates its Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October each year. The US celebrates on the fourth Thursday in November. As such, Ed was unable to come down from Vancouver for the US holiday. (But he did spend a long weekend here in October for Canada's holiday.)
Regardless, I wasn't alone this Thanksgiving. We have friends who live about 45 minutes away and I was invited. They shared their new home with 25+ family members and friends. The feast was amazing, the friendship excellent, and we each had plenty to be thankful for.
At least I certainly did. I have good readers, good friends, good family, a terrific spouse, and a good prognosis. That makes for a good life. 2009 looks like an overall 'up' for us.
Thank you all.
