Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Thanksgiving is not a holiday I grew up with, which isn't surprising since I didn't grow up in America. But I've been here 18 years now, and have to admit that it's one of my favorite holidays now. Not for the shopping on Black Friday--even if I have gone out with the crazies at 5am in the morning--but for the time spent with friends and family, where nothing's expected but good company, good food, and good football.

For those who are traveling, I wish you safe travels. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

To the Dingmanns, Gordons, Thomptos, Kozuchs, Joro, Kalogirous, & Riveras, I miss you guys and am thankful to have known you. Happy Thanksgiving.
