Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Wanted to stop and take the time to wish everyone who celebrates it a Happy Thanksgiving. Been doing prep work today so I can relax a little tomorrow morning with at least one pipe and some coffee. I'll probably start the day with some Rattray's Winter Edition 2014.
I am thankful for my wife, children and grand children. While I may say they drive me crazy at times, they are what keeps me sane and centered.
Even though the United States is not perfect, I am thankful I live in a country where I can participate in the political process if I choose to. I am thankful I live in a country which is trying to move towards equal rights and protection for every citizen. I am thankful I live in a country where I can still buy tobacco and pipes even if I have to pay outrageous taxes. I am thankful I live in a country where I can practice my religious beliefs without persecution as long as I'm not advocating the death of others.
This country is not a utopia. It's not even close but I am thankful that I live here instead of other countries.
I am thankful for pipe forums like This Pipe Life which provides me with the opportunity to meet other pipe smokers and have civil discussions and disagreements with them over which pipe is best and whether aromatics are better than English blends.
I am thankful....

and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."
