Happy Thanksgiving!

Three cheers for the Internet, for the Web, for visionaries and wonks, and for geeks coding away in the night. Three cheers for friendly writers, and cranky ones too. Three cheers for the Republic, and for its framers, and for its defenders,, all kinds. Three cheers for the kindness of strangers to visiting guests, and respect to the sometimes tragic costs. Three cheers for people who keep trying, for people who never give up, and for people who catch their breath and start again.
Three cheers to matter and energy, to Golden Bears and Glorious Bells, to learning on a beautiful hillside. Three cheers for being curious and loud. Three cheers for all kinds of wonderful, encouraging, fabulous friends, both seen and unseen, who read, joke, leave comments, and otherwise entertain, inform, comfort and inspire. Three cheers for dance. Three cheers for the Bay.
Three cheers for a most loving family, and many more for transmitters of that Splendor of which this is all but a spark. Thanks all, and thanks for reading! Happy Thanksgiving.
