At the risk of sounding gooey, sentimental–and less witty than I pretend to be–I want to say something serious. I have a lot of things and people to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. But I’m particularly thankful for you my readers.
Without you I’d just be pretending to be witty to myself. And I’d probably get bored and stop listening to myself pretty quickly. So thank you. I hope you all have pleasant, safe and even great Thanksgivings!

Happy Thanksgiving
