So I've always had an affinity for Thanksgiving Day. Maybe because it's not too religious, maybe because my nickname should be "Mr. Mashed Potato Head", or maybe it's because I played Squanto in a bang-up grade school Thanksgiving presentation.
Regardless, I hope everyone's has a good one and that your green beans are casserole-riffic. Amanda is 'moving' apartments and we are both busy with work today, so it's left-over Mexican from last night. I'm sure one of the Native Americans were named 'Ortega', right? This is actually the first Thanksgiving ever that I haven't spent with my family. But, I hope my parents have a sliver of cranberry bread for me before they go to Lamberti's Cucina with Grandmom!
All I can say is "Spasiba" (that's Russian for 'thanks'). This year I'm thankful for: 1)The 2 hours of internet I get a week to try to chat with most of you, 2) my parents understanding my trip to what can best be described as a 'disheveled Portland', 3)deodorant and all the good people that wear it, 4)ShopRite for having products that I can buy in KZ, 4)those that have given Thailand advice, 5)the St. Joe's Hawk message board, 6)Miguel Cervantes for giving me something to read (I started it 1.5 months ago!), 7)those that are sending me packages, 8)the 24% of RHCP tracks that still play on my scratched up double CD, 9)my trusty Kazakh companion - Amanda, 10)and finally ALL my family and friends!
Enjoy the parade. And look out for Santa at the end....
