Have a Great Thanksgiving!

My thanks go out to everyone who has passed on their thoughts and best wishes while I've been recovering from this surgery -- and not only to those who have responded on this blog, but also those who still rely on the "old media" such as e-mails, cards, telephone and letters.

And a special thanks to my mother, who -- after she saw this blog -- called to tell me I looked too thin in my picture.

I hope everyone has a terrific holiday weekend.
