Thanksgiving 2007

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, especially to the family and friends who stop by this little blog. We truly have much for which to be thankful this year. It's a work day for me, since hospitals have yet to close in recognition of holidays. My parents are coming and will enjoy a Thanksigiving dinner this evening, so that will be very nice.

Last year I posted several links to Thanksgiving-related articles and sites, so I thought I'd do the same for this year.
