Last Thursday was Thanksgiving, and in the words of Arlo Guthrie, we had a Thansgivin' dinner that couldn't be beat.

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! and remember: Here’s a Thanksgiving song that I think should be played on every radio today… I could not find the original on Youtube or Google video. They even removed the one that I posted last year! Anyhow, here is Arlo Guthrie’s classic: I’m not sure if these lyrics match [...]
Everyday is Thanksgiving In G- d's world In my mind Every day is Thanksgiving If we thank Him all the time Every day is Thanksgiving Here's a Thanksgiving post from last year, the sentiment about wanting to catch up on work rings true.
