Thanksgiving, 2008

As we come to Thanksgiving, here are some things I'm thankful for this year.

• My wife, children, and I had another year of good health.
  
• The country managed to get through the election without another legal fiasco.
• I found a new job (rather, a new job found me) relatively quickly after being laid off.
• We made the decision to not buy a new car or commit to major home renovations mere months before being laid off and this current economic zaniness.
• My sister made it through her 3rd tour of duty in Iraq, her 4th overseas, in one piece.

Happy Thanksgiving!
