On this Turkey Day eve, I am forcing myself out of my tent of cynicism and disillusionment to continue a worthwhile tradition.  Yes, it's easier to write 100 Fuck You lists than one Thank You list, but I feel a lot better while writing them.  Just like previous years, I hope that by listing things, situations, and people for which I am unendingly grateful, I will dispel most of the shitty karma I have accrued via 364 days of perpetual angry bitchitude.  So here goes:

Thank you:
