Happy_Thanksgiving_! 
 
***  THANKSGIVING DAY  ***

Thanksgiving Day will soon be here
It comes around but once a year
If I could only have my way,
We'd have Thanksgiving every day.
 
Just a quick reminder that I will be away in Atlantic City until Thursday, and updates will probably be slow.  But I think this should be a slow week for news.
I want to wish everyone a very Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving.
Please continue sending me updates at [email protected]
