Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope that you spend the day surrounded by family and friends, or some pleasant combination of both.
What is Gratitude?
Here’s one last Thanksgiving link, from a friend whose blog you should all be reading. Ron Coleman reposted a piece he wrote a year or two ago on the subject of gratitude. Here’s an excerpt. In fact I have never understood people expressing free-floating generic “gratitude” directed at … nothing. I do not consider it [...]
A New Thanksgiving Tradition: “As God is My Witness…”
Every holiday ought to have its entertainment traditions, and I think it’s time we added a new one to Thanksgiving. Sure, we have football, but what of the holiday specials? Christmas has all the Rankin/Bass specials (Frosty the Snowman, The Year Without A Santa Claus, etc.) and there’s always the Grinch. But what does Thanksgiving, [...]
Pass the *()$%(* Potatoes!
Matthre Continetti has Gov. Blagovich’s Thanksgiving Dinner pegged, down to a T. 111 a.

Gloom and self-pity are always easier than gratitude and hope. We complain of what we don’t have and neglect to be thankful for the blessings all around us. It is helpful at times to [...]
Happy Thanksgiving from a Special Musical Guest
This makes the little geek inside me feel all warm and happy. Good on Cartoon Network for rickrolling the whole country! I wonder how many people had to turn to their mothers, fathers, and grandparents and explain who that handsome young man is and why they’re laughing so hard. (via DrewM)
Happy Thanksgiving!
I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving today. Let’s all take a few minutes to find a solid dozen things for which we can be grateful. I’m sure that it won’t take us very long to do that. We live in an incredible country that gives us an unprecedented [...]
