Thanksgiving


This cheerful dinosaur topiary outside the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan is as good a herald as any of the freshly arrived holidays.

Felix had his first trip to the dinosaur exhibit recently, and I can only hope that he develops the same attachment to extinct creatures that I had growing up. My sibling preferred snakes and sharks, but something about the vanished nature of dinosaurs, dodos and a scattering of mamals (Tasmanian Tigers, anyone?) had a strong appeal the morbid kid I was.

This first holiday reminds me that I am exceedingly grateful for many, many things that don't need elaboration here, but I feel obliged to acknowledge them.

Here's hoping your Thanksgiving is splendid.
