Happy Friday! I don't mind telling you that it was an emotionally draining week — not in a bad way, but that's just the truth of it. There is still the carryover effect from last week's election. Some people are still celebrating, and others, well, are trying to sort through the toxic waste dump of recriminations that seem to follow every losing campaign, but seem particularly noxious this time.

It's not just the McCain campaign sniper fire that seems to be directed at Sarah Palin, there's also the lingering angst over Proposition 8 in California, and news that, thank goodness, Thanksgiving is coming.

And speaking of Thanksgiving ...

We want to know, what are you thankful for?

Have you had a Thanksgiving you'll never forget?

Last year, we recorded your observations and sprinkled them throughout our Thanksgiving Day program. They were just the seasoning we needed to make that program special, so we are at it again.

Call, write or blog. We want to hear from you. We especially welcome your calls, because we may want to use these observations on the air. Connect to the TMM comment lineon 202-842-3522. And, please, do remember to leave your name and how to find you if we need to call you back.

Now, get busy (please), have a great weekend and remember that we are grateful to you!
