Warning: this is one of those blogs that goes all over the place. Poems, politics, gripes, praise. A little of everything from an avowed generalist.

No rant, just gratitude
It's Thanksgiving, so I'll lay off for a day, and think about some of the many things I'm grateful for.
The photo is one I snapped in a coffee shop on Saturday. It went on to be thankful for, among other things, the fact that modern Barbie dolls are flexible -- makes it much easier to dress 'em.
On a more serious note, it's Gratitude Week in Vancouver, an initiative with the goal of ending homelessness. Sadly, that's a problem that won't be going away anytime soon.
But I can certainly say how grateful I am that I have such a wonderful place to live. Warm and dry, with a cupboard that's full.
Donating a dollar a day to a food bank or shelter can make a huge difference. That might be something to work toward for some holiday sharing.
