May You Have Plenty of Reasons to Be Thankful on this Thanksgiving Day.

Everybody, at some point, has had this kind of bird on Thanksgiving.

I hope your meat of choice, your tofuturkey, or anything you happen to have on your Thanksgiving table is enjoyed in great company, interesting banter, and uplifting spirits of all kinds.

Maybe one of these days you'll experience New York City on Thanksgiving Thursday, because it's the only day of the year that is at its most quiet, fun to walk around, and not have the usual rush-rush, hectic pace. Avoid the Macy's balloon parade's route, unless you have little children who will enjoy the huge balloons and the other hoopla of the season.

Traditionally, the xmas holiday shopping, er, the holiday season begins the day after Thanksgiving, but they're pushing it earlier and earlier. It was on a early November day that I popped in a store to buy a necktie and I was greeted by xmas music!  Com'on people, two months of lame xmas music/carols is waaaaay tooooooo much!

I hope to walk in Central Park a bit before the rain arrives later today. It's becoming a tradition in the last 5 year that I spend Thanksgiving in NYC and taking a long walk in this beautiful park.

I may return with some pictures...
