This is my annual Thanksgiving greeting to my APC family. It's been a rough year in the airlines and aviation world, but as a glass-half-full person, I believe things are right in the world and I have much for which to be thankful.

My coffee shop is finally opened. My dog got sick, but we did the proper thing with euthanasia and he's in a dog heaven now. I'd like to visit my young nephews in Germany this December and the flights still look pretty good. My sister said that her 3 year old learned to pee while standing up. This reminded me of the long ago thread in Military on "canting." The kid learned this, however, because his 6 year old brother said that he wouldn't have to wash his hands if he peed while standing up!

I hope your schedules allow you to spend Thanksgiving at home with your family and loved ones.
