Happy Thanksgiving!

Just wanted to wish you tens of thousands of loyal readers a Happy Thanksgiving -- or for those of you from outside the good ol' U.S. of A., a very Happy November :-D

We're already all reminded to be thankful for the obvious -- our friends, family, health, etc. -- but hey, let's take a moment to be thankful for 'other' stuff, shall we? Here's my off-the-cuff list of the moment of untraditional appreciation, definitely in no particular order:

- Google... yay!
- Culinary spices... cinnamon, cilantro, basil... yum!
- Towel service at my gym
- Finding quarters, not just pennies underneath my couch or bed
- Random e-mails from nice people
- Good green tea
- Days with no allergies
- My friend's Akita
- Tito Puente
- Jimmy Carter
- Salon.com

Lots more, but I guess that's enough for now :-)
