Thanksgiving

November 22, 2000February 17, 2017

Thank heavens for little girls (for little girls, as Maurice Chevalier sang, ‘get beeger everyday’).

Thank heavens for The West Wing (NBC, tonight, at nine).

Thank heavens for our low unemployment, low inflation, and national security; safer streets, cleaner air, and bottled water.

Thank heavens for family and friends and the kindness of strangers.

Thank heavens for aspirin, penicillin and Prozac; Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein; Katherine Hepburn, Bette Middler and Tom Hanks.

Thank heavens for generosity, humor and optimism; open minds, open doors, open hearts.

Thank heavens George W. Bush signed a law requiring that dimpled ballots be included in a manual recount.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Quote of the Day

"We've forgotten all the sacrifices that the people who've gone before us made to give us this wonderful life that we have. We accept it; we take it for granted; we think it's our birthright. The facts are, it's precious, it's fragile -- it can disappear."

Ross Perot, 1988
