just a moment to reflect on this day and the many blessings we all have had in our lives this past year. Even in the face of difficulty, trial, turbulence, and much uncertainty, there is hope and at least here on this forum is a place of familial comity. Thank you all for this.

Have a great day today.

Thanks, Mark. We are fortunate that our kids and grandkids live in town. We know so many people that their families are scattered all over, including foreign countries as both military and civilian.
 
Sorry a little late to the well-wishing; I just woke up from my turkey, smashed ‘tater, cranberry sauced, punkin pie stuffed 24-hour stupor. Hope everyone else had a great day - and to our international friends - I also hope your Thursday went better than expected.
