Happy Thanksgiving to You and Yours

There are so many things to be thankful for this year:

• Family
• Friends
• Friends of Friends
• Strangers
• Strangers who are not yet Friends
• Strangers who will never be Friends
• Methodists
• Snake-handlers
• Dear gentle blog readers
• Someone special to love....and who loves back
• PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, MOTHERFUCKER!
• (ahem)....vice-president elect Joe Biden
• 56 days, 2 hours, 5 minutes to go for President Bunnypants
• Love
• Peace
• Harmony
• Comfortable Shoes
• Poutine
• No local pro athletes paralyzed or garroted on the playing field thus far this year
• The sun has not burned out just yet
• I am not yet selling pencils on the street or moving into "Hoovervilles"
• My sarcasm remains pointed
• I can still rock the mic like a vandal and, also, light up a chump like a candle
• I'm alive
• I'm well
• I'm happy
• My brother
• My mother

So, in the spirit of the season, I'm reposting my special Thanksgiving video...an appropriate clip from The Ice Storm (1997):

My warmest wishes to you and your families for a restful and happy Thanksgiving.

Now....onto the War on Christmas!
