Today I am thankful for many things, including:

1. A loving family.
2. A comfortable home.
3. Turkey.
4. International readers who don’t mind being wished a happy Thanksgiving today even though they are not specifically celebrating the act of giving thanks.
5. Neighbors who refuse to plug in their Christmas lights until tomorrow.
6. I guess the other neighbors, too.
7. Readers near and far who are patient with me when I blow off blogging in favor of eating turkey with my loving family in my comfortable home where the Christmas lights will not be plugged in until tomorrow.
