Happy Thanksgiving

So the past several nights Stella and I have been watching some shows on the History Channel (yes, the History Channel, not "History" as they would call themselves).  Mostly they've been on Thanksgiving and the holidays and food.  It has been quite interesting especially when the shows don't argee with each other, like one show said that Ben Franklin did not back the turkey as the national bird and another did.  But all in all they have been good. 

We learned all about the Puritans and how views of Thanksgiving evolved and such.  And how football became a large part of the holiday.  And yesterday Stella cooked up a turkey and was making bread and such.  So it was all very good.  

I would have to say that I'm thankful for my family (especially my beautiful wife) and friends.  And I hope that all of you have something to be thankful for as well.  As for me, I'm about to go turn on the Thanksgiving day parade.  Oh, and its raining here, I wonder if it'll be snow up in the mountains...
