Am i the only one that believes that as I get older, time seems to pass a lot faster than it used to, say, when I was a child. Back then, it seemed forever for the holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, new Years) to come around. Now, it’s almost the blink of an eye that summer is over, and suddenly we’re in the throes of cooking, baking, and gift shopping for the upcoming holidays (not to mention, stocking up the bar for the inevitable parties, leading up to and including New Years Eve).

After taking the past couple days off from blogging, running about, trying to get everything ready for today, it’s finally, well, over and I thought I would take a moment to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. If you’ve already had dinner, don’t worry about your current bloat, you’ll be hungry again on a couple of hours. For those that eat later, I guess you’ll be up late, at your second dinner. I’m glad it’s over (for now) even though we’ll be eating leftovers for a least one more day and then there’s the tradition of concocting a very heavy turkey soup with some of those same leftovers. As always, be safe. A lot of extra “celebration” occurs during these holidays.

I’ve never quite understood the usefulness, or uselessness, of social media. Take for instance the platform formerly known as Twitter: millions of active users giving a peek insde of their personal lives on a daily basis. I admit being a frequent user of this site, but I try to be careful what I post there. I try not to post about anythingI would consider personal. Mostly family. I always find it curious that some people wiill post the most intimate details of their life to millions. of complete strangers.
