Happy Thanksgiving.



This was our Thanksgiving dinner in the
studio. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving
in October at the end of the harvest.

Sam (in the red shirt), Steven, me and
Megan, Christopher's fiancée.



Here's the view the other way, with
Christopher at the other end of the
table. It looks like we've just polished
off Steven's out-of-this-world pumpkin pie.


Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American
friends! It has been a wonderful year for me,
and despite the economic challenges, in many
ways a wonderful year for your country. The
election of Obama was huge beyond what
anyone can adequately express, but I am
proud of you for doing that.

I'm also proud of all of you for your wonderful
art. That's been a super delight for me this
year. I give you thanks for that bounty.

Here's to a glad-to-be-grateful day.
