Mitt

As this year's Thanksgiving turkey (whom I have named "Mitt") awaits his ultimate fate tomorrow, I am thinking about the things I am grateful for (see 60 of them in recent blog posts) but also about some scary things going on in the world.  Luckily there are far less than 60:

the conflict in Israel and Gaza
the Fiscal Cliff
Sandy-devastated states
the European economy
the stock market
health care changes
new taxes

I can do nothing or precious little to influence the outcome of any of these. 

In that way, I'm a bit like MItt awaiting his future...
