There is so much to be thankful for, friends and family, a warm place to sleep, this great country.  So I will be on the selfish side and say I am thankful for my job.  It may be boring (in this profession, boring is good), but it it puts food on the table giving me a a healthy life (the doctor says about 20 pounds too healthy).  It gives me a chance to go to strange locals to seek out exotic beauty and strange animals.  But most important, I am thankful for my co-conspirator in life, MRSQ.
