As I look back over the past year, I really have a lot for which to be
thankful. Being overseas didn't really change my political views or core
beliefs (other than strengthening them), but it did make me realize some
of the blessings that I do have on a day-to-day basis, that I didn't
notice until they weren't there for four months.

I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving, and have many things for which
you can be thankful. :)



Thanks for those kind thoughts, Daniel.

I watched Bush doing the Press conference with Friar and Priar (?) (two
turkeys who were "pardoned"). I thought it was brave of him to be filmed
with turkeys, given the obvious opportunity for satire.... :-)

Obviously, here in NZ we don't observe Thanksgiving, but I like the idea of
this holiday. It doesn't do any of us any harm to count our blessings and
spend some time with family, occasionally.

I know it's hard on the turkeys, but I still eat one at Xmas :-)

Best Wishes to all the US people who frequent CLC, (whether you lurk or
post), for a pleasant Thanksgiving.

Pete.
