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.

Lest we forget, the original Pilgrims were religious zealots. With guns.

For both of those attributes, we' re thankful.

The turkeys and the Indians may have a different perspective... :-)
