Rather than a smaltzy Happy Thanksgiving post about being with loved ones, I think I'll post a slightly different list of things I am thankful for today. Not that I don't want you Loyal Cruft Readers to be with your loved ones today, I do, but posting that is a bit boring.

Ten Things I am thankful for today, in no particular order:

1) Google
2) Cheez-its
3) Union Bakery and their ham & cheese croissant
4) HBO
5) Tivo (with HD, of course)
6) Driving a hybrid in the carpool lane
7) Ikea
8) Rice a roni
9) DJ Riko
10) That George Bush cannot be re-elected
