Thanks for the heads up about Wildcat. My bride and I have no desire to be "Glicked" this weekend. Anybody who has Local Hero on their movie list is all right. (Our first date was viewing Chariots of Fire.)
Over the years some of the Thanksgivings had fewer things to be thankful for, but there are always some. And always I'm thankful for a large, loving, supportive family. You can't really beat that.
But there are many small things to be thankful for, too. This year your columns are included in my list. There's plenty of bad stuff in the world, always, but thanks to the internet I can now read the writings of people I would never have found otherwise. And I can enjoy the intellectual stimulation.

3) I must broaden my horizons in the limited series genre, as I keep returning to various episodes of The Queen's Gambit four years after its release. That one really struck me as brilliant....story, acting, sets, musical score (the transition from the final scene in the park to the ending credits still gives me goosebumps).
Looking forward to your writing on different topics.
Yo, Bob, can you tell me what DAW you use to compose your most excellent music?
