Just got back from picking up our turkeys (an acquaintance deep fries them) and the house is stinkin pretty good.
Cassie will be dining with her colleague Marie Angelis tonight in Paris with her family and perhaps other American Ex-Pats. From what I've heard obtaining turkeys in Paris can be problematic as I'm not sure if they're indigenous to France.
There IS much to be thankful for as always but this past year was a watershed year not only for us but the rest of the world. Our country finally has an intelligent leader who actually wants engagement with the rest of the planet within reason, our sons are succeeding somewhat in college, Cassie has been promoted again which in today's economy is pretty special, and all of our friends and family are for the most part healthy and happy.
I personally am thankful for all of my blessings which include contact with friends long lost to me and the greatest family anyone could ever have. I am also doubly thankful that I'm going to get to experience Paris and the European Continent again which is something I never even dreamed of. Lately I've been listening a lot to the new Brad Paisley CD "American Saturday Night" and in particular the song "Welcome To The Future". I'm thankful for how far we've all come but also mindful of how far the human race still needs to go to achieve world peace and safe haven and health for all everywhere. I will continue to hope for that even if it's not fashionable and will never let go of that hope for us all.
Peace and love to everyone who reads this. Take care of yourselves and as many others as you can.
Be well,
Sid
