The month of November brings us Thanksgiving and a chance to take stock of our lives and consider all the things we can be thankful for. In past issues in this column, I've written about what I'm appreciative of; you can read it here. And now it's time to appreciate the gift of a sense of humor with the following cartoon. A Happy Thanksgiving to all!
