Not much more to say than that. I&#8217;m spending my day at the press, printing new works for an exhibition I&#8217;m in that opens on the 6th of December. Not much time between now and then, and so here I am, but I&#8217;m happy to be here. There were Shaker spirituals playing on the stereo a moment ago, and now it&#8217;s Jay Ungar &amp; Molly Mason, and before that it was Jane Siberry. The cat&#8217;s hanging out with me and there are pleasant stirrings in the house. I&#8217;m quite content.<\/p>\n<p>Thanksgiving should be this way: a day spent doing what is most important to you. We&#8217;ll gather later with the family for dinner and complete the day in the company of those we love. What could be better? At the table, I&#8217;ll think of all I&#8217;m thankful for, and it will include all of you, for liking what we do, for letting us be a part of your days.<\/p>\n<p>I wish you a day that makes you as happy as mine is making me. Happy Thanksgiving.<br \/>\nJohn<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Image: Thanksgiving circa 1973. We had company from Connecticut. After dinner, almost everyone found a spot and fell soundly asleep.
