Having just heard some very good news
this morning that will send me happily into Thanksgiving, I'm going to repeat last
year's holiday observance: from now through the New Year, I'll list something I'm
thankful for every day. I thought about using this to replace my new clothes field
-- I've decided not to for now, but may change my mind. Meanwhile, I am packed,
trying to think of work things to occupy my morning, and ready to head East to
celebrate the holiday with my favorite uncle. (He's also my only uncle, not
counting great-uncles and distant cousins with courtesy titles.) I may not be able
to update here until next week. And I get to meet

Today I am thankful
for: Friends in real life. Friends online. Friends who are also family. And
most of all, the prospect of a new little friend I'll be hoping to meet in nine
months!
