In no particular order, I am thankful for opportunity. I'm thankful for most of the great things our nation has to offer, and how good it is overall even when parts of it are very, very broken. I'm thankful that there are (or were) people like Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Neil Gaiman, to write words, thoughts and ideas that captivate, provoke and inspire me. I'm thankful for my family, and that none of them have any horribly pressing problems. I'm thankful that even in this economy, and with others in terrible plight, that I am able to afford and appreciate a meal shared with the people I love.
