I hate turkey--can I have pizza?

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I hope you all get to do something you enjoy. I am going to gorge myself on pumpkin pie but that's not unusual--I've been doing that all season. I am thankful to know all of you, just as I'm thankful for my family and other friends. I'm thankful for love and music and lollipops. I'm thankful for so many things that it would take forever to list them all so let's just leave it at that.

And for those of you for whom Thanksgiving is not your thing, it's not really mine, either. So for those of you like that, here's my favorite statement on the subject, from Wednesday Addams:

Wait, we cannot break bread with you. You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides, and you will play golf, and eat hot hors d'oeurves. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They said do not trust the pilgrims, especially Sarah Miller. And for all of these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground.

Ha, I had to read through a page of quotations from that movie to find that exactly and I forgot just how funny that movie is.

(during swimming safety lessons)
Amanda Buckman: I'll be the victim!
Wednesday: All your life.
