Giving Thanks and Thoughts

Well, it's Turkey Day, again.

It's a shame that's the central image most of us have of the Thanksgiving holiday, but such is modern America.

I am taking some time today to actually give thanks for a lot of great things that have happened in my personal life over the past year, in addition to giving some thought to the trials and tribulations of our pilgrim forebears.

(For more details on the pilgrims, see my rather lengthy post from last year. For more details on the other great stuff, you'll have to read the other 364 entries since last Thanksgiving.)

At the top of the "thankful" list today is that Fidelma has recovered enough to travel, so it's off to the beach we go!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the blogosphere!
