Day 25 (11/25): Today, I am thankful for books and the folks who write them. I have always been an avid reader, though perhaps not quite as much in recent years as I was in my youth. A good book can transport one across time and space, allow one to explore...

So, here it is, the Monday before Thanksgiving. Hope y’all have taken your frozen turkeys out to thaw several days ago.
Wait, you haven’t? Or maybe you took it out too late and it’s still rock hard?
It’s ok. Uncle Grayhawk (and a little science) will get you through this.

Day 22 (11/22): Today, I am thankful for my job. Yes, it can be frustrating & stressful. There are aspects that could be better. That said, I have spent far too many Thanksgivings un/underemployed to not be grateful that I have a job that allows me to pay the bills & occasionally indulge my hobbies

Day 21 (11/21): Today I am thankful for beer. I agree wholeheartedly with Benjamin Franklin's observation that "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy". I have long loved beer, and enjoy trying different microbrews.

Day 20 (11/20): Today I am thankful for the marvels of modern medicine & the people who practice it. They often work long hours for people who are...less than appreciative for their care. Yet, without it & them, my kids might not be here.
I almost assuredly wouldn't be.

Day 19 (11/19): Today I am thankful for new friends. Whether via work, cons, gaming, social media, or pure happenstance, it's always a pleasure to know there are more people out there who are part of your "tribe".

Day 17 (11/17): Today, I am thankful for cooking shows. While I was always kinda aware of the shows of Justin Wilson, Paul Prudhomme, Julia Child and others growing up, it wasn't until I was married that I started checking out cooking shows.

Day 16 (11/16): I am thankful that I live in an area which has all 4 seasons in about as classic a manner as possible. While not a fan of summer, as I don't care for heat, but I do enjoy having four distinct quarters & try to appreciate the turning of the wheel with each

The difference between the two? Simple. If you put it in the turkey to cook, it’s stuffing. If not, it’s dressing.
