the young cynics (who can be counted on to volunteer that their personal helping of yams or broccoli would make an ideal donation to the starving orphans of China),

this brought a chuckle. my kids fight over who gets the most asparagus, brussels sprouts,
artichokes, cabbage, broccoli, things i couldn't make the dog eat when
i was little... i'm baffled. my wife says there was a mix up at the hospital...
i think my kids are from outer space.

by God's grace, we are truly fortunate to live in America. thanks for the ping, brityank.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, and a prayer for our troops, far from home this holiday.
