I just got back with Peg and my mom from a massive celebration at Peg's mom's house, and in the last couple hours of the day want to offer my own Thanksgiving wishes to all board members in the USA.

Thanks for giving thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving to all no matter where you are...

I hope your thanksgiving was as good as mine.
A friend of mine invited me over to his family's thanksgiving feast in Selma, Alabama.
Folks, you are not in the "Deep South" until you see the spanish moss hanging on the trees.
Had the feast on the veranda overlooking the Alabama river, the sun was shining and the wind was not blowing into the veranda. I kept thinking that we'd see either a steamboat coming by or Tom Saywer or Huck Finn floating by on a raft.
After that took a short tour of Cahaba, Alabama. Which is a ghost town, literally and figuratively.
