One more thing to be thankful for...

Happy Thanksgiving.  I had a very pleasant Thanksgiving Day, full of the usual family fun, delicious food of which I ate too much as is traditional, and general good feelings all around.  Then I came home and watched a PBS special about the Pilgrims, their early years and the first Thanksgiving, based heavily on William Bradford's journal "of Plimoth (his spelling) Plantation".  This was a fascinating program and has left me feeling very, very grateful that I'm living now, not then.
