My day was a truck load of work, shopping, cooking and cleaning, for a newly mixed family- all for a general lack of appreciation of expense or effort, but I appreciate the mixed views of my peers here, and am very thankful for my overall general health, food on the table, roof overhead and a bottle of Pendelton that is only half empty, which tonight makes all the difference.


World politics and finance aside...



Life is good and I raise my glass to this ragged band on a day of thanks.
