Giving Thanks

Things I feel thankful for these days:

• Google Books
• The US National Park Service and its Systemwide Archeological Inventory Program (which is how I have done most of my interesting work over the past decade)
• Whole wheat bread that is as soft as white
• That I have children into Dungeons and Dragons and Live Action Role Playing
• All the new kinds of apples, like Jazz and Pink Lady
• Recorded books
• The Census of Marine Life
  
• Online editions of illuminated manuscripts
• Robotic space exploration
• My friends
• My healthy, thriving family
