-- Giving Thanks --

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've generally done some sort of 'things-I'm-thankful-for' post at this time of year... so in the Holiday spirit, 10 things I'm grateful for this year:


10. Tim Dee's book, "A Year On the Wing: Four Seasons In a Life With Birds"

9. Apple Computer/Steve Jobs

8. Twitter

7. Internet music radio

6. A Vice-President of the U.S. named "Joe" and not "Sarah" (...or "Dick")
5. Birds of the world from hummers to parrots, wrens to raptors, puddle ducks to seabirds; luv 'em all!

4. Small entrepreneurs and risk-takers who persist in a world of corporate behemoths

3. The Hubble telescope

2. A job


1. Thankful the country is in no worse, horrendous, calamitous, decrepit, financially-bankrupt, depression-teetering, de-regulated melt-down shape this Thanksgiving than it was one year ago today!

....But hey, a healthy, happy Holiday to all!!
