Thanksgiving

There is a definite feel to the holiday season in the U.S. and there is not an iota of the feeling here. It's hot, hot, hot. It must be quite humid here.

Being plopped down in the middle of another culture and country, it becomes quite clear the things at home that I'm thankful for. Here's the short list from Pai, Thailand:

1. being able to take this trip with my family
2. that we are together every waking (and sleeping) moment and we are still having fun together
3. that the air we breathe in the U.S. is clean and fresh
4. that my job is fulfilling , never boring, and the people I work with (adult and student alike) are great
5. that it is absolutely silent at night in Griffin Creek
6. that we have screens on all our windows
7. for my own car
8. that we have four seasons (although I don't mind missing out on one of the cold ones)
9. that I have a dog I can pet and hug without fear of rabies, scabies or worms
10. lastly, for family and friends, near and far

We're just finishing up some Thanksgiving festivities here, and we're thinking about you guys. Lucy sends her love (but from in front of the couch--she's sleeping)
