Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm effectively taking a day off from blogging for the holiday, which at Loyola House includes Mass, dinner and a Chicago vs. Detroit football game as well as a novitiate tradition of which I've only recently become aware - watching The Sound of Music. My parents and my sister Elizabeth will also be coming in for a visit, which means I won't be doing much blogging Friday either. Until I write again, enjoy the late, great Alistair Cooke's reflections on Thanksgiving in this Letter from America transcript from a few years ago. While you're at it, have a wonderful holiday. AMDG.
