Okay, so I finally made the minimum goal for my cancer ride, thanks to some people here, the rainbow community, and total youtube and Facebook strangers. Wanted to extend my thanks.

This coming weekend, the 12th and 13th of June I'll be keeping a promise to my brother Jerry and riding 200 miles from Toronto to Niagara falls, the long, crazy route, for cancer research at the Princess Margaret. He was treated there. I beat cancer twice. He didn't make it.

Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday.  It is a day (long ago) that some pilgrims decided to have a feast.  And you know what?  They praised God for the opportunity.  Today, some of us still do that.  But I ask this question, do we need an excuse to thank God for the grace which God has bestowed upon us?  Do we need a day to make us reflect and give thanks (and pig out ;P )?

Wishing each of the wonderfriends a wonderful thanksgiving.

A pot of coffee is on.

The kitchen is clean.

Muffins are fresh out of the oven.

Coronation Street people are up to some major shenanigans.

Sit down, and tell us what you are giving thanks for today, while you enjoy a cup of coffee (or tea)
