Not too many days ago, and surprisingly late, it began to feel like November.  The trees are leaf-less, revealing the traffic on the other side of the Charles River from the apartment I will soon be vacating; my local Mr. & Mrs. Cardinal seemed to have moved south; and heads are snuggling into winter hats.

With so much amiss in the world, it’s even more important (while overeating in the company of loved ones) to take a few moments to express gratitude.  Thanks to all of you for continuing on this journey with me.

Happy Thanksgiving.
