Happy Thanksgiving, 2021

 


Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Just a quick, personal post today.

I'm watching Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this morning, cringing at all the pitifully lip-synched, piped-in music wafting from million dollar parade floats. Considering all the money spent on this annual event, you'd think they'd be able to afford live music. Good grief.

I hope you get to spend the day with family and friends. I am on-call over the Thanksgiving weekend, so I will miss the big Thanksgiving gathering with my wife's family. Today will be just the four of us, my own little family. It makes me happy.

I am thankful for so many things, it seems futile to even begin to list them all; that's a good problem to have. So, I will keep it simple: I'm thankful for all of you reading this, making the first month of my site so successful. 

But more than anything, I'm thankful for another year together with all of you. I see some of you frequently; others I haven't seen in 30+ years, but we still keep in touch, and that speaks volumes. Thank you for making my life a part of yours.

Time goes faster than should be allowed. I think, perhaps, Einstein got something wrong in his calculations. However, here we all are, zipping around the galaxy on a little round planet (yes, it is round), doing what we do: living our best life. 

Cheers to you. Happy Thanksgiving!
