<p>I am thankful for my family, for electricity, clean water, vaccines and everything else that keeps me and my family alive, that allowed us to evolve out of the tree canopy, walk out in to the tall grass and keep walking, slowly on, for millennia. And who will hopefully keep walking slowly, long after I am gone.</p>
<p><img alt="cousins" class="picwide960" src="https://images.luxagraf.net/2014/cousins.jpg"/></p>
<p>I’m also thankful for the web. This right here. The best form of communication and non-local connection that we’ve come up with since the beginning of time. I am very grateful to have my health and thankful for the privilege of being born into a life that allows me the free time and opportunity to partake in the web. I am thankful for the wealth of human knowledge, understanding and connection that that exists out here between the 1s and 0s and corporate owned routers that log it all for, ahem, <em>backup purposes</em>.</p>
<p>Most of all I’m thankful for being alive. </p>
<p><img alt="creamed corn" class="picwide960" src="https://images.luxagraf.net/2014/creamed-corn.jpg"/></p>
<p>And for creamed corn, which doesn’t look like much in a pot, but it is, trust me. </p>
<p>And for William Burroughs, who <a href="http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/modlang/carasi/thanksgivingprayer.htm">summed it up best</a>.</p>
