Sometimes it seems like Thanksgiving just trades a frenetic workday for a day of frenetic dinner preparations. That being said, it only takes a moment to reflect upon some of the things that I'm thankful for:

my family,
having a world-class job despite living in a town that sometimes feels like a real backwater,
coworkers who are intelligent, accomplished, indulgent, and opinionated,
living in a place where I have a vote, even if I don't generally like the choices,
having our rights protected by the Charter, because, as frightening as it may sound, I have more faith in the judges than I do in the politicians.

What are you thankful for?
