Happy Thanksgiving week! I try to make it a practice to be thankful daily but with the upcoming holiday, it's a good time to reflect. There are also things I am NOT thankful for, yet I am still thankful to live in a country free enough to complain about them. How about that Al Franken sexual harassment story? O what about People magazine's sexiest man alive? All annoying but isn't it great to be able to just turn the channel?
