I always use this blog annually to say what I am thankful for. There is always plenty and this year is no different.

  1. My oldest son, Ethan is marrying a wonderful woman, Alice in April 2024.
  2. I was fortunate to take another vacation (as seen above) with my family and this year we journeyed to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and Chile.
  3. Finally, I no longer wear a mask everywhere I go (except on an airplane).
  4. I get to spend the every winter in Arizona in the sun riding my bike and climbing in my hiking boots. The older I get, the more I feel connected to the world when I am outside. I look forward to longer journeys (biking across America anyone?).
  5. I will be able to take time to work next year to ensure democracy, not fascism for the government of our country.

What are you thankful for?

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you get to celebrate with the people you care most about.
