Good on ya Blast. I loved cooking for the family at Thanksgiving and Christmas time. It's coming on two years now that I've been away from my girls, and I will miss Thanksgiving with them this year. It hurts, more than I thought it would, but I celebrated Thanksgiving here in Brisbane with a few co-workers. We went to a restaurant and ate Kangaroo meat and beetroot, which was better than I thought, but nothing like Turkey and mashed taters and gravy and stuffing. We then went across the street to the pub and had a couple rounds of Kilkenny's on tap.

This is perhaps one of the toughest Thanksgivings I've known, but I am still thankful. I give thanks for a healthy family, the ability to provide for them, for the opportunity to make this world better, and for being able to share with such a fine bunch of folks as y'all.

Now excuse me please while I go wipe my eyes. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
