Default Thanksgiving
I'm just back from the Hospital, visiting my elderly Father who has bad pneumonia and is now pulling through and expected to recover.

Remember to be thankful for what you have today. It's all too easily gone.

Good luck Chris, hope your dad gets home soon. We all, myself included, should not take good health as a given.

Chris,
I bet your Thanksgiving meal addition made his day, maybe helped open sinuses up! Cocktail sauce that almost makes your eyes water is excellent!

Hopefully he’ll be home soon.
