Thankful Thanksgiving Thursday

Thanksgiving again! My third in Seattle.

Today I'm thankful for...

• Rainbow's End and all the people (and cats!) in and around it. I could not possibly have made it through the year without you.
• My family. Special thanks for Colleen and Naomi, who push me to do the hard stuff. That's a pretty thankless task, so thanks again.
• My friends, close and distant.
• Music. Family music nights, when we remember to have them.
• Seattle, my beautiful city, with its excellent transit system, comfortable weather, and zoning that allows us to keep livestock.
• Amazon.com -- both as a store and as an employer.
• A buyer for the Starport. I will miss our old house, and we won't see our San Jose friends nearly enough anymore, but I am very glad to be rid of that albatross and its mortgage.
• ... and, as last year, the fact that things aren't nearly as bad as they could be.
