happy belated thanksgiving

so sorry we weren't around to wish all of our readers and friends in blogtopia (yes! i coined that term!) a happy thanksgiving. skippy was sick in bed for 3 days (actually, only in bed for part of it, but mostly asleep in his recliner chair). some sort of sleeping laryngitis flu caught hold of skippy, and there was nothing to do but rest and drink plenty of fluids.

well, even though some would say the world is going to hell in a hand basket, there are still plenty of things to be thankful about. skippy is particularly thankful for mrs. skippy, and he recommends that everyone who has family take care of them, and be nice to them this holiday season. family is always more important than you'll ever realize, and you can never get from the rest of the world what your family can give to you, whether you want it or not.

also, even though the wrong person might be in office (whatever office you are thinking about at this juncture) we are still in a democracy as of this morning, so that is also something to be thankful for.

and let's even give thanks for the little things, like our own personal blogs, and all our blog buddies out there. with the upcoming troubles in the world, it is good to have friends.

we hope you had a great thanksgiving, and have plenty of leftovers (skippy will finish off the last slice of pumpkin pie tonight after he signs off the internet), and we hope you gave thanks to whatever deity you pray to, and if you don't pray, we hope at least you were humble.
