Things that I'm thankful for (in no particular order):
- Life, the universe and everything - Having survived a year after a heart attack and being in relatively good health.
- Family - My wife who remains lovable in spite of her best efforts, four wonderful if occasionally challenging children, three delightfully eccentric grandchildren who will, I hope, retain that eccentricity against all odds.
- Sentience - A brain that continues to function as well as it ever has.
- Books - Food for my soul, grist for the slowly turning millstones in my brain.
- Computers and networks - Giving me access to museums, libraries, and people I would have never met otherwise.
- Vegetables, grain and fruit - Providing all the nourishment my body needs.
- Other people - Keeping me amused, confused, bemused, enthused and occasionally used, misused, excused, accused, abused, and bruised.
- Coffee, tea, and other mood-altering substances - Just because.
- Language, music and art - The best imperfect forms of communication I know.
- Science - For at least trying really hard to make it all understandable.
