Thanksgiving's over, but I'm feeling grateful, so:
1) I'm thankful I was not compelled to attend my high school reunion on Saturday, which surely would have been awkward, expensive, and insecurity-stoking. Likewise, I'm thankful I had a friend who went and sent me a nicely detailed report so I didn't have to leave my curiosity entirely unfulfilled.
2) I'm thankful to be spending this winter somewhere my snot won't freeze, I won't have to shovel a sidewalk, and I won't have to pay hundreds of dollars per month to (barely) heat my apartment. I'm also happy to not be spending this time of year in Hamburg where, today, the sun rose around 8am and set around 4pm.
3) Roof over my head, food, not on welfare, health (though no thanks for that one-day vomiting flu a few weeks ago), happy marriage, etc etc.
4) After drifting aimlessly for the past few years, I may be finding some direction. This is nice.
5) Six months in LA as of tomorrow, and I've not yet experienced a car accident or an earthquake.
