I love Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday. It has all the familial warmth, good food, and holiday cheer, without the hype. I would even say it's the least-commercialized holiday (excepting the food industry -- they make a lot of bank on T-day). I am in my home-state of Louisiana ...

I have never been so glad to see the end of a presidential race. Granted, I'm not that old, but I'm not that political either. Tomorrow night we are going to an election party, and I will drink a big glass of wine in celebration, not of a winner or ...
