Re: 2024 Thanksgiving

Wishing all a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Since you asked, I'm thankful for my wife, my family and friends, and my health. I'm thankful for having been born an American and for all the opportunities that has given me. I'm thankful for lots of good fortune that has come my way.
