Fairly boring commentary from an oversensitive, emotionally demanding computer nerd (with a not-so brand-new 4-year-old, and two cats)

Tasty, tasty
A wonderful Thanksgiving dinner here at our house. Just the two of us and a Chinese couple. My wife is a conversation partner for the woman, a grad student, who is trying to improve her English.
They have only been in the U.S. since August, so the Thanksgiving tradition and food were new to them.
I think this made me appreciate the meal as a tradition even more, sort of seeing it through new eyes.
The other day I said I wasn't going to do a "I'm thankful" post but I have to say that I should give thanks for such a nice meal, a nice house with a fire going -- and most of all the good company.
I think I feel at home in the truest sense a lot more this year than any year since I left my parents home.
I know some of you are having a good day today, some of you are battling relatives -:), and some are not having such a good day.
To those who are not so happy today, I wish for you that next year will bring better things. Life brings many unexpected things -- but some of them are good.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
