Happy Thanksgiving to You All! I'll be away for a day or so, spending some time with my family up in Connecticut. I have two wonderful nieces and an equally special nephew—my favorite nephew in the world, as I like to tell him—and we'll get to spend some quality time together. Along with, of course, their parents, my brother and sister-in-law, and mother and stepfather. (Dad and stepmother are in Florida, to which they retreat at the hint of cold weather—lucky them!) Thursday, we eat and watch the Lions; Friday, we're taking the kids to see "Disney Live." It'll be fun for the kids to watch, and fun for the adults to watch the kids.

I hope that you all have a wonderful time with your families. And a special nod to the men and women in the military overseas. We're grateful for your service, and we haven't forgotten you. Stay safe, and come home soon.  ¶ 11:53 PM
